Modern macOS is a significant counterexample to that claim. Most of it is janky. Zooming and dezooming the Finder is not something a 2.5 years old MacBook Air (€1200) can keep up with smoothly, for instance. Opening a Save dialog takes over 3 seconds, and expanding/collapsing the file explorer in it is comically janky.

None of this sounds right based on my experience. Wondering which model you have? Is it fanless? I’ve never used until o got my 2022 m2 air. It’s the best computer I’ve ever used. Before that, 10 years of Mac Pro, and they’ve all been old (2010 models) and fast.

  MacBook Air early 2020 base model. The 2010 Mac Pro doesn’t run macOS 11+, that might be its X factor.

    Is that a fanless intel machine? The Mac Pro can run newer os with the help of open core. I can do many things with it like run Mac osX 10.6 using my modern amd rx570. I can also run macos 12+ which I do. It runs great!

That's simply not true. A 2019 MacBook Air has no trouble with any of these things. If you're having trouble with these, something is seriously wrong with your computer.

    Ah, I misunderstood what you were referring to. Now that I understand, I'm less surprised. For some reason I was thinking File I/O. The Early 2020 MacBook Air is a joke from a CPU/Graphics perspective - even compared to other Intel Macs. I still think something's wrong with your computer, as I have worked with multiple of that model and they weren't nearly this bad (even accounting for screen recording) - perhaps your cooling is worse?
