i have a perfectly good ryzen machine a few feet away from me and yet i spent the whole day on my bed on a 10 year old core 2 duo thinkpad

@squirrel Depends a lot on the OS on it, linux is great, but my dad uses a far more recent laptop than mine and it runs slow as molasses on windows 10

@troubleMoney somehow i feel like xubuntu 16.04 runs worse than this on a way newer i5 laptop that i use as my main commute

@squirrel That might be down to hardware support, with thinkpads being as popular as they are I'd hazard a guess they've seen a lot more optimisation time than other brands of laptop
