I‘m not the proverbial fanboy (pun entirely intended), but I seem to remember similar headlines for just about any new MAC of the last two decades. And the issue often seems to be caused by the initial run of the Spotlight indexer. The author could have also maybe taken a look at what’s actually causing his problems with a simple click on the standard-issue system monitor. Not doing so is either disrespecting his readers, or just gross incompetence of the kind that doesn’t go well with his long-winded claims of being "professional“.

Ad hominem. Nice.

  Not at all an ad hominem. Saying a quibbling author has not conducted the most basic research to see what a problem is before complaining about said problem is always a valid criticism. Saying an author is wrong because he is a stupid dumb meanie is an ad hominem attack.

The three things that usually kill performance and make the fans go ape on new Macs are: - Initial Spotlight index; - Initial iCloud Drive sync; - Initial Photos sync. My last three macs have had the same experience.
