what cpu is in it?

@firelighter487 @mrchow19910319 my 2008 macbook is always at 160p and even then,

  100% cpu usage and a toasty 90* degrees celsius 100% of the time. Mix that with a fast 

1mb up and down internet connection and you have something called hell.  

@mrchow19910319 eww your using a cherry mx shit- I mean brown keyboard? 

@firelighter487 

i am using the i 5 one

that's odd... my hp laptop has a 3437U, which should be about the same speed (maybe a little faster)... and that has 30-40% usage on all core's while playing a 1080p youtube video. 

what browser are you using?

@mrchow19910319 I'm using the intel core 2 duo @2.3GHZ varient of the 2008 macbook lol 

@InMiseryWeSeekPancakes still that should be able to play 720p youtube right? or has youtube become so heavy all of a sudden... 

@firelighter487 Are you kidding? Lol I wish, it can barely play 480p, internet connection aside, I'll be at the library often getting schoolwork done, and I'll have around 15mbps internet up and down and despite that I can barely reach 480p video.

Gaming is suprisingly delightful on it though, seriously, if you install windows or if you use metal or the vulkan api I can actually run Skyrim on it @30fps low-medium 768p no aa. 

@InMiseryWeSeekPancakes how lol, i have systems slower than that and i can play even 1080p video on those... 

i'm talking about a laptop from 2010 with a 2.1ghz dual-core pentium..

@firelighter487 Your shitting me... 

@InMiseryWeSeekPancakes nope, i'm not. what browser are you using on your macbook?

@firelighter487 I'm gonna blame it on macos. 

 That's why I dual booted windows, blackarch linux and mac os on it. I never tried watching videos on the windows side of things on that laptop or linux

@firelighter487I'm using opera because I can't, for some reason, do video playback on chrome. 

And I wouldn't use safari if it was on my life. 

@InMiseryWeSeekPancakes well yea opera is not that fast. can it play 720p on Linux or Windows though? like if you try that you'll know macOS is the problem..

@firelighter487 Well imma try it out now since I'm using my macbook.

@firelighter487 twitch stream stutters like shit.no idea why. youtube @ 1080 is kind of okay,. but still this machine starts to show its age. 

I can use it for coding just fine. but that's it.. "just barely okay" for web development. 

          Are you kidding? @mrchow19910319 I can code on an IBM 5150 from the late 1980s! 

programming works like a charm on my mac. I've never even seen a device that's bad for coding...
