Just entered the 10's by added another monitor.

I'll have Dreamweaver or Visual Studio Code on the vertical monitor on the left and a browser or Photoshop on the right.

Other upgrades are another 2GB of RAM (6GB to 8GB) that was bought about four months ago, a docking station, drawing tablet, and a 500GB SSD.

My laptop is a 6th generation i5 and didn't have any lagging problem outside of maybe using Photoshop, Illustrator, and a browser at the same time. But I've wanted a SSD since adding one to my old laptop. The difference in speed was night and day. That PC was okay, but it was pretty good once it had the SSD.
