Oh my, the modern web is so bloated/overloaded.
My Thinkpad x260 (Yoga) is dying while playing a Youtube video... let alone dropping a lot of frames.
I know, the CPU is older (i5-6200U) but come on - this is crazy.

I've set the notebook up to play around with #FreeBSD on the desktop some more. Running #Xfce currently and having some dev stuff installed.
#FreeBSD handles the notebook like a champ, everything works... sadly that is not the same for using the web with a modern browser.
720p playbook loads up the CPU at a constant 50/60%.
Well, at least surfing the web is kinda ok... but not great tbh.

Times really have changed... for the worse in some aspects.
I still remember surfing the web back than with a tiny AMD single core CPU - which was more then enough.

Enough ranting.
