I don't remember the T480 I had was any slow, except of course when running games. So I do agree that the machine is still capable for most use cases today. But I also saw people (usually X series users) complaining on YouTube saying s

I'm curious how much slowdown a "weak" CPU can cause for real-life programming task, assuming the CPU is at least gen 4 Intel. I never used a mobile/power-efficient CPU myself, but I do use old CPUs. For example, this I5
