@PhlipElder What's Teams?
Microsoft Teams
Ah, I think I've maybe heard of that. I don't use it though and have confirmed it's not installed. I do use Slack though, but it's running identically on all my devices so I don't think it'd be the cause for performance differences.

ProcessExplorer or ProcessMonitor digs right in to give you a direct eye on all services that can be seen and in the background. That may be the next step to see what's soaking up those CPU cycles.
EDIT: Unless you already know the culprit?

@PhlipElder If you're referring to what I think you're referring to, the culprit would just be the relatively slower processor on the slower machine being constrasted.

Sadly - sometimes it's due to the fact that they are trying for SUPER thin and SUPER light.. so making things modular costs both thickness and weight.
Hell no it's not because of the "lightweight" and "thin size". That is cost-driven to make you purchase the same model that adds one frigging slot. If you look at the PCB, it's got the solder points there already! I hate to say it, this is the same effect and the same thing as what Apple does in certain scenarios.

I did mention reduced SKUs also - which is basically what you're talking about.
