Security updates will cease to exist for windows 10 next October. That means they're already barely stable now, and will be UNstable next year.
Thanksgiving sales are when you find the best prices, so Windows has basically forced everyone into having to buy a replacement a full year before they turn windows 10 into legacy machines.
I'll have to buy a new laptop too for the same reason.

This Dell laptop Precision 7510 was $4,000 in 2017, upgraded myself to 64 Gigs RAM and 1 T solid state drive. To replace it today is like $5,000 but there are used corporate laptops which are about 25% of a new list price. I had found a site for with cheap like new and a friend bought one very cheaply. . OBB you can probably get something very reasonable with great specs looking at the used market.
I have to replace this laptop due to Win 10 being pastureized. . .
