I had to upgrade my i7 T420s with maxed out memory and solid state, because work video calls brought it to its knees, and it couldn't push 60 frame videos in the browser. I had to use streamlink for practically all live video consumption. (Linux Mint)

Don't get me wrong; I'm proud of how far I stretched it (and it remains a respectable machine for what it is), but I just want to put this out there if anyone's thinking of trying to dump heavy modern web processing on the T420/T420s dinosaurs.
