Why should I need to do any testing ? I'm just going to keep on not believing you until you back up your claims.

And your iPad example doesn't make sense at all, you compared 2 Macbooks and now you're talking about another OS altogether.

> idk what to say.

You could just tell us one example of something that's faster on your 2019 Macbook Pro 15 versus a M5 Macbook pro and how to reproduce it.
