Why does it barely play Netflix? Why would a Macbook be better?

  If they're using Chrome rather than Edge or the native app then the video is rendered in software, which will quite possibly result in a poor experience on an underpowered machine. (TBH the same issue happens on a Mac though, except Safari instead of Edge).

    That makes sense, I guess Netflix won't choose a video quality/resolution to play back based on your processing power but rather just on your network bandwidth

      Netflix's determination is made primarily on the basis of DRM security levels in this case.
