alt Hacker NewsFriend of mine has 32GB laptop with top spec last gen Intel 9 and it barely handles larger Word documents and Teams calls.
The fan is just obnoxious on top of that.

Top-spec computers will always shit the bed when they aren't taken care of properly (bloatware, blocked airflow, etc)

There is just no way it is actually barely handling them. My 2012 with the dual core handles that. Fans turning on doesn't mean it barely handles it. That is just how those intel macs were. They were like that on day 1 in 2012. Spotlight indexing could be enough to spin the fans. Still does the job though even if its hot and noisy.
