Ah yes because the bloat from Windows 11 won’t make these struggle to do even basic tasks. So much background shit going on from the get-go that you still have to wait seconds for a single click to register or open the start menu.
Say what you want about Apple, there’s a good deal to say, but at least their OS isn’t a corporate bloatware/spyware/adware/malware infested mess that runs badly for the sake of the bloatware.
Not that I’m defending windows or disagreeing, but there is a difference - windows run almost every PC hardware and still supports decades old legacy apps

Windows yes, windows 11 no. With jump to 11, the TPM 2.0 requirement removed a great deal of the usable devices based upon one hardware spec that was only really common as of 5 years ago. In addition, win x16 apps have not been supported since win7 despite them working under wine, or at least more so than nothing. This coupled with the push to web apps on the os has all but killed the legacy apps aspect unless you consider them to be the apps which have had updates in the last 10ish years, which I disagree are legacy.

True, but that’s not what causes them to run slow and shitty.
i mean, that’s part of it. but it has gotten worse recently for sure.
Yep, exactly. It certainly affects it to some extent, but it’s not the main cause.
Edit: added missing ‘to’
Its not legacy that is the problem. They went with web based tech for some parts of their os.
Don’t worry, M$ say you can launch the command line in 90ms now!
At least the OS can be swapped. If the battery life is abysmal compared to the Neo for similar specs then there’s no redemption possible.
The only way I’d favor this over a Neo is similar battery life and user-replaceable RAM (ideally LPCAMM2).
