I guess it's the same with Mac OS. Some years back, migrating Mail data would always fail on my Mac Mini, but would succeed quite happily on my MacBook Air. I always suspected the HDDs. Moved to SSDs and everything was better.

Yeah, since the APFS transition in particular, macOS is unbearable on an HDD. And Apple still sells the base iMac with a 5400rpm drive. Ought to be criminal.

Well, HP at least used to sell their laptops with a powersupply that could not power the laptop enough to run at the speed it said in the specs. For getting full speed you had to buy a bigger powersupply from them. Saw this on a computer that someone donated to the sportsclub because they bought a new computer to replace the old slow thing. Turns out all that was needed was a bigger powersupply.
