Example: my friend has a laptop with 16GB Ram and a core i7. I have two laptops- one with 16GB Ram, a Core i7, and two Nvidia GeForce GT 755M's, and one with 6GB of ram and a Pentium Processor. My friend wanted to know why my PC was performing better than his, and apparently he uses a 32-bit java version. It isn't actually his computer, and he isn't an admin on it, so I would advise to get the new launcher

I still use the old one, I like it better. I was expecting a "prettier looking launcher" to look more like this:
