That's like putting a jet engine in a Geo Metro --- Lenovo Legion 7 - Ryzen 5900HX, RTX 3080 16 GB (165W), 32 GB DDR4-3200 By Grabthar's hammer...............

The CPU so far out-specs the device's other hardware and limitations. iOS only barely even supports multi-window on tablets and is otherwise not really multitasking. It's like having a state of the art PC and installing Windows 98 on it. --- Lenovo Legion 7 - Ryzen 5900HX, RTX 3080 16 GB (165W), 32 GB DDR4-3200 By Grabthar's hammer...............
