Did you have the same exact model (down to the year and everything), because the earlier version of the one I linked was a lot worse.
I've ran some pretty heavy work loads on the one I linked without issues (and this is comparing it to a high powered i5 desktop).
For example in the blog post, I mention running this:
- Google Chrome with 6 tabs open
- Youtube playing back a video (streaming music is important!)
- Docker daemon
- Dockerized Rails app with 28 gems
- Dockerized Sidekiq background work
- Dockerized Action Cable server
- Dockerized Postgres and Redis
- Sublime Text 3 with about 30 plugins
- 2 terminal windows, one with 2 tabs and the other with 3
- 1 PDF open with the native PDF viewer
- A 2nd workspace with another Google Chrome window and 3 more tabs
And it took it like a champ. No severe slow downs or thinking "meh, I should be on my workstation, this sucks!".
