Can a slow laptop affect the ping?

I have a 4 year old laptop that has become very slow. The memory is used up. He only makes updates and everything jerky. My line is fine and everything arrives. Can a slow laptop affect ping?

Something, because the ping indicates how long it takes the system to connect to the server. So if your internet port has a delay, it may happen that your ping is worse

Whether a computer is 15 years old (hello Windows XP) or 1 year old does not affect the ping. If the computer is slow this could be due to the old rotating hard drives. Replacing with an SSD only helps here.

Also if you have little 4GB RAM? Have, it makes sense to upgrade to 8GB so that you can keep several programs or tabs open in the browser at the same time. 4 years is not an age for a computer, but as I said, once in a while you should upgrade the hardware if you know where to start.

The ping itself hardly. But of course everything else. If it stutters, it is not necessarily related to the ping but rather to an overloaded graphics card / pro / hard disk.

And the three things can easily be overloaded with an old laptop.

Thank you, but that's not enough for the old thing. Get me a gaming pc.

For Office, that's another 10 years, no kidding.
