Of course you can, but that's not how depreciated assets work in the corporate world. Especially when warranty/support ends after 5 years with companies like Dell.

I agree... Its a laptop. 5 year refresh cycle is plenty time for the device. Your looking at a few hundred dollars to get small gains to keep a device running an extra year or two. When by that time the market will have things 90% better ha.
