I disagree. I have such a PC (64 GB of RAM, Quadro GPU, SSD, etc.) and I absolutely do notice things being slow, even things like Word, Excel, and VS code, let alone resource-intensive professional software.

Personal machine or work machine with antivirus and enterprise spyware?

Work machine. But it's a small company, no dedicated IT staff, no anti-virus, and everyone has admin privileges to their computer.
