A. I see how your old laptop lasted seven years

C. A fresh install on a new SSD will probably make a world of difference to you running on this old laptop.
D. You could just consider a new "pad" device rather than a new laptop for this basic usage. If you prefer a laptop, so be it. But that old hardware will EVENTUALLY fail. Electrolytic capacitors eventually go bad, and some part of the motherboard will eventually fail. They just do. You will need to upgrade the hardware sometime.

"Pad" as in iPad/tablet? I need something w a keyboard, or at least something that lets me hook up a keyboard to it, in addition to something w a hdmi output (or is there something that replaced this?) to let me show movies/shows on my flatscreen. I think I need to update my OP in case this needs to be stated.
