A high sky Skylake ultrabook from 7 years ago with maybe 8gb of memory if it was higher spec is fuck slow with a bad battery life and you can absolutely notice the difference even if you're capable of ignoring it. The Intel HD graphics GPU on these laptops is also a real problem.
A good laptop does make a difference when visiting some javascript monstrosity on the internet, I'm not saying it's good value, but if you have the money, why not buy a MacBook Air over a Chromebook?
- rowanG077 4y agoI agree with battery life but I honestly doubt people could see a performance difference between a good laptop from 7 tears ago and a new MacBook. Of course if you benchmark them you will see it easily. But just browsing the web and doing some mail? I doubt it. In that sense I feel like buying a powerful laptop for browsing and mail is a bit like buying a Ferrari. Sure your car can go fast but you won't ever use it.
