To be fair, they didn't say /what/ computer from 2011 ran terribly. The Intel Core CPU's were the best back then. There were also Atom netbooks, terrible AMD chips, etc. AMD solidly has the performance crown now, but in 2011 they did not.

Pretty much anything from 2011 that was not a Core i5 or better will probably not run well today unless you use a purpose-built ultralight distro.
