There were reasonably fast laptop SSDs in 2012. I had the intel one In my x61 and x201 thinkpad. The specific components though may be faster, then again the newer SSDs would be bottlenecked by the motherboard bus. Sourcing newer models would be a matter of logistics, not performance improvement. Same with RAM. CPU improvements have also been marginal in my opinion, for intel chips, depending on your workload. I was running photoshop professionally just fine, video maybe not so much.
