Every day, I sit this laptop next to a fairly new fully loaded thinkpad with 16 cores (i7) and Nvidia A2000 gpu, twice the ram. Today I had over a dozen programs running on three monitors, with no noticeable performance hit. Running ide’s, dev servers, multiple browsers each with 6-12 tabs. My thinkpad can’t do that without struggling and feeling like it’s gonna catch fire. Specs aren’t everything.

I’m working on a Bootstrap 3 website that was generated by a WYSIWYG editor like 10 years ago. I was angry 10 minutes into this day.
