Performance has essentially plateaued for the last decade in laptops - aside from sticking SSDs and more memory in them, there isn't a ton of difference in specs. I have a 2006 Windows laptop that runs better now on Win 10 than it did originally on Vista. Except for power consumption, it's the same as my two year old laptop. Of course, with a Windows PC, you've got a variety of options, and can buy something that is actually upgradable, rather than being locked into what Apple deigns to give you.
