SSd's and more ram are not always the magic bullet. I have an aging Toshiba Satellite with Intel Celeron900 2.2ghz 4 gigs ram and a ssd.
The actual OS Lubuntu ain't too bad, but Firefox takes 6 seconds to start and a further 18 seconds to go from Google to YouTube with the fan maxing out along with the cpu.
Over the years web browsers get update taking advantage of newer features incorporated in processors making older equipment like my laptop obsolete.
