I do have these but still it's not enough. You can say it's a decent device and it works without any problems. The only problem is it cannot handle excessive load/multi tasking. I believe if an electric device starts to show symptoms of problems, no matter how much we try to fix it, one problem after another would come. I already had to replace the HDD to SSD. After that, the colling fan started to make noises and now having problems with the sound system. It is still running but might shut down any second.
Yes, I really need to buy a new computer/laptop now.

Then it's something else, the power supply or the motherboard (I assume it's a desktop computer) and maybe a professional should do diagnostics and determine what the problem is. I also have only 8 GB of RAM, but even when I open two browsers with a dozen tabs and everything else running in the background, I have no problems with slow work or freezing.
BTW I really liked what you did with the quotes. The resizing thingy. Looks very cool. Saves up a lot of space and highlights the reply. 
That was my intention, and you are the first to notice it in a positive sense. It seems to me that some others think that it is not right to minimize their words, but everyone has their own opinion.
by that I mean a really new one from the store, not a used one.
I think I share my love for old laptops with philipma1957 by now. And with "old", I mean at least 8 GB RAM and SSD. Wipe the laptop and install your own software.I guess it depends on where you live though: here, corporate laptops are replaced every few years, which makes them cheap and abundant on the second hand market. You can find a decent laptop for less money than a new hardware wallet.
I'm one of those who don't want used things, no matter how well-maintained and in good condition they are. I like to buy new devices that have a guarantee and service provided in case there is a need for the same. I assume that there are such laptops in my environment as well, but I have never paid attention to such things.
