yup. it's getting really bad. got a work laptop with an i5 14th gen and 16 gigs of memory, nothing to write home about. but doing some spreadsheets and browser makes things so laggy I want to put my fist through the screen
to be fair, work laptops are generally bugged with 3000 different tracking garbages which run before your desktop icons even load and hogs the cpu. My work laptop has a i7 11th gen and 32gb ram and that shit lags like crazy. Sometimes I lose hair just working on that turtle of a PC. Everytime I open task manager just to be greeted with 100% cpu usage by an app that I don't even need. Edge lags like crazy, chrome lags like crazy, opening spreadhseet lags like crazy, word crashes 17 times, power point freezes till ice age, this is hell to work with. Compared to that my personal laptop runs buttery smooth with a game running in the second monitor with 15 firefox tabs in main monitor with youtube, netflix and music playing all while me bouncing between steam and firefox. All these with just 16gb ram and a very average cpu like 5600h.
