thanks on the comment about the comp, and more so for the bolded in your quote
you're right, this comp hasn't been the same since I was in Belize and ms did one of their auto-updates that for no logical reason does not work in that nation
computer dude got it going by reversing the update and doing whatever computer repair people do (I was stressed out and not paying attention properly) but ever since it's just...wonky. internet connectivity will randomly drop out, sometimes takes forever to start, lots of weird little stuff that I've never experienced on any other comp. it's still a workable machine, just the quirks can be annoying
my main reason for replacing it now is the screen died so I have to use an external monitor and am woefully stationary, but I would love to have this as a viable back-up. I do love this comp despite its imperfections. I will take your advice, thank you

A bit more expensive but I thought you'd might want to compare.
Other than 16GB RAM and SSD (which is a must, as people already mentioned), it has a 9th generation CPU, which is much faster according to cpubenchmark:

noticed both you and Ferus referenced Lenovo. my extremely tech-oriented MIL absolutely swears by them and if I could have found a local source of that brand to fit my needs I absolutely would have bought it absent concern re performance or durability
I notice that a lot of businesses/corps here use them as well, I think they are the Asus of the Caribbean
cheers to shopping being over. happy you found yours too =)
