Not because new hardware sucks, on the contrary new hardware is leaps and bounds faster and in some cases even lighter on the watts, so that you can have some semblance of a hope your Windows laptop can compete with the battery life of the Hipster&rsquo;s Mac on the other side of the coffee shop. Rather that the software that runs on it requires more and more from the hardware, and maybe even to the point where the software devs just become lazy and say, I&rsquo;m not optimizing this routine, someone can just throw hardware at it if they don&rsquo;t like how slow it is.</p>
