I'm still rocking a 2012 built HP EliteBook 8540w which I bought second hand in 2015. The weight of the thing is a little bit annoying and the battery is dead. It has never failed me, running Windows 10 now. It has always come back from standby and hibernate without fail. By far the most reliable computer I own. But it is showing its age though, not because of the hardware but because of software. Windows 11 doesn't run smooth on it unfortunately :-(.
- prmoustache 3y agoHP Elitebook 8460P of similar vintage owner here. I also bought it second hand, it came with an SSD and a bigger HDD (that died), I replaced the battery a few years ago, bumped the ram to 12GB (I should bump it to 16GB while memory sticks are still available) and it has been running on Fedora Linux for years. It is kind of a heaby brick brick but it works well, everything is still fairly smooth on Gnome with wayland.
