Cheers.
That sort of decides it. For not a huge amount more I could get something a bit less old that could run W10 whereas the current laptop will always have to be linux.... no bad thing TBH as I'm always amazed how well lubuntu works especially since discovering you can save libreoffice files as MS ones. Still nice to have the choice.
I guess if I see a super cheap SSD come up for ~£40 that would be worth it.
@hamrack - good point.

I've recently bought a Lenovo x230 (i5, 8GB RAM) from 2012. I stuck a 256GB MSATA drive (from eBay for £60ish) in it and put Win10 on it and it runs fine. Proper fast.
