To be fair, both your 2015 MBP and 2015 6th gen Intel desktop are pretty outdated compared to your M1 Macbook, so of course they're slow in comparison, what else did you expect?

For a more apples to apples comparison, Intel 12th gen and AMD Ryzen 6000 series would also give you a lightning fast experience comparable to your M1, especially since modern systems come with faster memory and faster storage than your 2015 machines, contributing to the perception of speed.

Ofcourse, it was a response to why I dont just use a 200$ Chromebook. Latest AMD or Intel is definetly as fast, albeit at a higher TDP.

Yes, hard to believe but that was seven years ago. In the old days it would have been like comparing a 286 to a 486. Intel has certainly plateaud since then but Apple's ARM kept some of that momentum.
