I picked up a Toshiba laptop in early 2013 and bumped up the RAM to the maximum 16GB. While it serves me well enough to this day, it’s buggy and boots slow.

I too bought a Toshiba laptop back in 2013 from Best Buy. It’s kept in our bedroom, internet connection and it runs thru our 46” TV.
We like watching YouTube videos and stream movies from several sites like Popcorn Flix and other similar sites.
It has 12GB of RAM and I installed a 250GB Crucial SSD. It’s never moved. When running we keep a 4” fan blowing on the front to keep it cool. It will reboot from the desktop and back to the desktop in around 30 seconds. Running Windows 8.1. Never had a bit of trouble.
I’m actually inspired now to upgrade my laptop with a ssd drive. The whole operation will cost me about $110 and I may be able to sell the old drive for $10 or so on ebay. Improved performance is worth it! Thanks for the inspiration!
