Ha, just a minutes before this post I thought again why I recently decided not to bother with upgrading my T440:
despite the upgrade (replacing the ugly 1366 panel to a proper FullHD, IPS one) wouldn't cost me much (around $50 for the panel and probably another $50 for the work and maybe cleaning) it would be still a decade old laptop with an anemic i3-4010U (2c/4t 1700MHz), the awful Intel(R) Wireless-N 7260 and a fucking pedal instead of the touchpad. Sure, I can replace the wireless card too (if Lenovo would allow me and I would find the proper one if it doesn't) but at this point... It's easier to add another $50-100 and just buy something a more modern.
But hey, if my main notebook would fail, just as JGC, I would be fine with it because it's a glorified terminal:

- dangus 3y agoYou make a point about something that keeps me away from older laptops: WiFi speed. Sure, I could get a USB WiFi card but…ick. I’m paying for symmetrical fiber, I want to use those speeds. When I’m uploading stuff to servers it really can slow me down to have slow WiFi. I could actually really use WiFi 7 to finally un-bottleneck my connection and I’m just waiting here semi-patiently for new client devices and cheaper access points to launch.
