But I'd say the answer to my first question - why does he think he needs
a new computer at all - needs answering before anything else: in other
words, what does he expect a new computer would do for him that his
present one doesn't (or couldn't if it was bought some more memory).
Unless it's unreliable.

In my experience, the "add more RAM" mantra ended with computer systems
purchased in the early 2000's, about a decade ago. Up until then it was
common to see systems starved for RAM, but since then I very rarely see an
opportunity for such an easy performance upgrade.
