I upgraded to a Samsung 256gb SSD in my E6420 and topped out the ram to max. I was lucky though, I got the top spec core i7. Thing still burns through most tasks with ease it’s just gotta be plugged in cause battery is 12 years old and I need to re-apply a better thermal compound on the heat-pipe that this model likes. This was the notebook that inspired what would become the famous Dell XPS 13.. it started here with this chonkey, magnesium bad boy. Literally still works to this day although is use a much newer laptop now.
