 The laptop I have doesn't have an upgradeable CPU or RAM, according to the manufacturer 😐 
 I'm sold. Upgrade to something that's not cheap and disposable! 
 Being a massive cheapskate, I like to buy flagship models from a few years ago second hand end-of-lease, and upgrade them as needed. They'll easily outperform a low/midrange current laptop, and outlive it too, while actually costing slightly less. 
 In light of this new info (I hate when manufacturers do that 😤), then I would say a new one might be warranted. Take your time and make a list of needs and wants then see if something second hand would meet them.
