ThinkPad L470 user, 2017, with 12 GB RAM. Replaced battery, HDD and screen recently.
Loaded a 2242 SSD onto this thing recently with Windows 10 Ameliorated (spyware and telemetry removed), while Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on HDD stays the default boot. This machine is a banger, the last with removable hot swap battery and VGA port.
Edit: someone reported my comment as spam lol
