I decided to purchase my own Mac, and just purchased a used 2015 MacBook Pro 13'', 256GB/8GB and from what I am seeing it seems to run very slow. Opening things such as System Preferences seems slow, and even loading Safari seems slow. I have tried not to compare browsing the web as I realize it could be internet related but compared to my iPad, iPhone, my wife's 2009 MacBook, and my PC, it still seems slow just to browse the web or watch YouTube.
Overall it just seems slow opening up things within the MacBook and I am not sure what to try to test to compare. Maybe that is what I get for buying an older MacBook? I also did an OS Reinstall and that didn't appear to help.
Is there something else I can do to gauge performance? I have not put any photos or installed anything as I just received this, and the hard drive is clean. I am a new MacBook user and so far I am having buyers remorse.
