I booted up some old-ish laptops so the kids could use them, and they were grinding to a halt on windows 10
I get the options are chromeos or linux - but makes me think how much hardware waste is there when people replace windows laptops due to this
Unfortunately running a browser, outlook, and teams was enough to cause really annoying hickups. I didn't even realize it was my laptop, because I was remoted in somewhere.
I'm more than a little salty that an 8GB PC can no longer run a pretty basic suite of work apps, simultaneously. I guess all three of them have assumed that they will have gobs of memory to themselves.
A hand-me-down Windows laptop feels like a major setback, but Macbooks are decently fast after years (if the keyboard didn't fail).
Even if so, sounds like a problem with no hardware graphics acceleration to my untrained ear
