There are a ton of thinkpad t440p’s floating around from that era. They have upgradable everything (even a socketed cpu). You can buy a low-end model for €150 and soup it up to perform similar to current gen laptops.

How much extra dollars are needed to soup it up so that it has similar performance as current gen laptops?

I imagine the drive and RAM would be first two items for the change, what about the CPU?

It depends on your ebay skill. You can look up the parts in the T440p upgrade guide: https://octoperf.com/blog/2018/11/07/thinkpad-t440p-buyers-g...
