Eh, GF's dual core Celeron craps on your Rpi2 and 3 probably, but with 2GB of RAM is powerful enough to even watch JS filled pages if use Ublock Origin. Cough, Medium, Cough.

Is no SandyBridge either.

Right, so you agree that comparing a Celeron to an R2/R3 is apples to oranges.

The devices are wildly different, with the amount of RAM available being far less important than the fact that your GF's laptop, with a vastly more complex motherboard, actually lets the OS efficiently use a swapfile. 2GB on a laptop goes a lot farther than 2GB on an Raspberry Pi.
