How about resolution? Color depth? Complexity of what is displayed?

Last I checked my old commodore PET wasn’t rendering ray-traced 4K UHD graphics at 60hz…

60hz is pretty easy if all you are doing is a simple character buffer.

How about latency of the key press? Why Apple II has practically zero latency and your modern monster desktop is visibly lagging in a fucking text editor? Despite Apple II being literally millions times slower than a modern rig.

Nor is my phone, yet newer apps are now struggling to render basic GUIs at 60hz.

Your phone has a higher resolution, a lower size, and a lower thermal footprint, and more battery life....
