I had a laptop running Linux from 2013 too and it was always snappy. The only reason I switched was because of how noisy the fans are. Work also gave me a 2015 Mac and now Linux is running on it. It's pretty fine and far from sluggish. No idea what the author is doing to have problems.

They had a 2015 12" MacBook (the one with no fan). This was essentially an Atom; they very much sacrificed speed for slowness. A contemporary Air would have been much faster.
