I use a Thinkpad from 2010 as one of my laptops, upgraded with an SSD and 16GB of RAM. It isn't bad at all, but it is a bit slow for compilation, as my only complaint. I wouldn't want to use a laptop without an SSD though and the RAM though.

Perhaps, if you can't get new laptops, your boss would spring for upgrades. SSDs are cheap these days, so is the RAM. If you have some experience you could knock out the upgrades for all the laptops in a couple of days, likely spending less than a few thousand dollars
