I think with Slack, the computational workload is just network I/O and rendering text and images. With VS Code, in addition to rendering text, there is code linting and compilation, which is more intensive.

In 2015, Lenovo (who currently owns the Thinkpad brand) got caught installing adware and certificates into the Windows root certificate store. This is known as Superfish:
