> 15 notebook is enough to be a glorified typewritter

Glorified typewriter is a perfectly acceptable use case. Plenty people out there who just want to write a novel or thesis or email or look up a recipe or Wikipedia. Not everyone is gaming and watching 4k video

Do you even internet?

Just try it yourself on some 2c/4t machine from 2010. Sure, you can do it, but it would be an exercise in patience.

I've done it on even older machines and it's perfectly fast.

Maybe it's because I don't use bloatware browsers and keep JS off by default.
