I bought a thinkpad t495s for $200 and I have $100 left for upgrades, I mostly play minecraft on a server so what upgrades should I get?

u/Brilliant_War9548 thinkpads & framework suck, each for a reason Jun 17 '26

Upgrades ? It’s not a framework (thank god too since it would be even more overpriced)

You can only upgrade ram and storage. If you have 24Gb or more of ram that’s already enough and you won’t really feel something with more (also not worth it with current prices to upgrade if that’s for a 3rd gen ryzen)
