I am not sure what you are saying. Are you referring to the current price of SDDs and RAM needed for upgrades ?
I have 11 and a 15 year old Thinkpads, both have 16G memory. Both works great and have plenty of years left in them. But I do not have Microsoft Windows on them.
I believe the 11 year old device works as fast if not faster than any Windows 11 system on modern equipment.
