Thanks for the links, interesting story about switcher.

And yes, hearty recommendation on the craptop.

I was discussing with a colleague a while back when he said he had to get one as he was unable to reproduce a problem on his M2 even with the 6x cpu throttling you can do in Chrome. On the old laptop he dug out of storage he managed to reproduce it instantly.

I need to check with him how easily he could fix it, one argument I have to why some optimisation is always good is that it's easier to fix things as you go along vs having to go back and try to make things better. I mean if there is one thing making it slow then it's easy, but I have a feeling it's often a mix of things and at that point you might not be able to replace the slow parts as everything else depends on them.
