Odd though, my laptop (granted, 8GB, not 4) is about that old and it's a really reliable workhorse

This machine was doing OK until I installed Eclipse with some specific plugins and a few other java applications to support the work I'm currently doing. I think it is the Java that is killing it.

I've put the request in, not holding out much hope, last time I requested a new machine (this one) it was because my old was struggling under the burden of what it was up to, the new one when it turned up had less RAM than the old one and I had to get some more put in.

I also left the Eclipse stuff on the old machine back then (Win XP, 8 years old now), and split my development across both machines, the old one isn't really viable anymore, might see if I can do something similar with this one and the new one.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
