I recently put Windows 10 on a now six-year-old laptop with i3 in it. It&#x27;s surprisingly snappy, definitely more pleasant to use than the Windows 7 that was on it. This is not usually what happens when you put the latest Windows on hardware old enough to have shipped with Windows three major versions back. Apple better watch itself, Microsoft seems to be caring a lot more about the little things.<p>(This message is just about the OS; yes, yes, privacy etc., and there&#x27;s still yet more stuff yet to fix up like battery life, etc. I only game in Windows so honestly I don&#x27;t much worry about it. I&#x27;m just saying, it&#x27;s much slicker than I&#x27;ve ever seen Windows be even on new hardware, let alone 6-year-old hardware.)
