pertainly doesn't seem under powered…how is a "2017" two years old?... do they just pump out the same device and slap new date on it? but the hardward/components are the same as they were?

    The Moto is 2 years newer, has a faster CPU, and double or triple the 
    memory depending on configuration. That's got to help.
