> The comparison to a modern laptop is interesting... Nah, my ~8 year old laptop was still trying to process all the js to render their site even after I finished reading the article and hit the back button -- that's probably the standard they're holding up here... But, really, the only problems I ever have with this old lappy is the occasional bug that slips through the Fedora testing process and a battery that really should be replaced.

My 8 year old laptop has Quad 2Ghz Processors and 16GB ram and a 500GB SSD. It's running ubuntu on a swing arm wall mount in my garage over my electronics station next to the lathe and below the lexan protected 4k tv. It' works great in that capacity and I don't see it dying any time soon. 8 Years ago was 2010. My replacement laptop is basically 2x the power of the old one, and that's really only for short bursts due to thermal issues. Actually the one in the garage likely is better for large parts of the year because it's cold in the garage.
