user2042: Theory claims equality for Black in the below diagram. 
My engine claims White is better and demolishes the line with convincing moves. 
Since I have old laptop, with 2GHz dual core CPU, I was wondering if someone with stronger engine can analyze the below position for me (hopefully they will be able to prove my engine wrong).

user12084: For a Computer, White is Better.  For a Human, it's unclear.
White has quite a few advantages here - notably more space and superior development.  Black has one major advantage, though.  White's king is exposed and shall remain so for quite some time.
Computers excel at positions in which perfect defensive play is required - that is, positions such as White has here.  A computer will almost certainly see and defuse the various tactical threats to the White king, and eventually the computer should be able to convert the many advantages White has into something concrete.  But a human playing White is quite likely to err and allow Black the chance to make an effective attack.  Some humans will prefer to take on the Black pieces, on the premise that if they play aggressively White will eventually slip.  Other humans will prefer White.  Thus, we say that the position is "unclear".

user24024: A very uncomfortable position
[fen "r3k2r/pp1n1ppp/3bp3/q2p3P/3P2P1/3B4/PPP2P2/R1BQ1RK1 w kq - 0 6"]

I have analysed this resulting position several times with some great Lc0 and 80+CPU stockfishes. My verdict from that is that white objectively has some advantage, but for humans it is so difficult to understand that they will mess it up.
Also the verdict drops down gradually. Which is a sign that it might actually not be that impressive for white. I really do not know when h6 works or something else. The black pieces are easier to play, and especially at 2000- level that's what counts.
In combination with my student we have decided not to include the variation with 6.Ne5 in our repertoire. There is more to get in the other lines imho.
Hope this helps, I would recommend you to study the above position quite well if you plan on playing this with Black.
