Obviously, the other was the MacBook Air, which was upgraded to the M2 chip at WWDC ’22. However, when the Apple M1 was introduced, the Mac Mini was one of the first two Mac computers to launch with the chip in tow. I don't really care about that, as long as the computer stays fast and it doesn't drastically shorten the life of the SSD.The transition from Intel to Apple silicon is almost complete, as there’s still one Mac in Apple’s lineup powered by Intel. What's interesting is that, even with only 11GB of 16GB currently used, there is still about 8GB of swap. I also haven't noticed any glitchiness, compared to the Mac mini. It is extremely snappy, and I have yet to see memory pressure go into yellow or red. It's just another world compared to my old one. I just got it yesterday, and I have to say that I'm very impressed.
Now, I just sold my 2017 MacBook Pro (2 USB-C ports, 16GB), and decided to buy a refurbished 16GB MacBook Air once it came available. I have also had some occasional display flickering, which may be related
Sometimes, when waking the computer up, it freezes and the memory pressure skyrockets, taking at least a minute or two to become fully responsive again. Memory usage usually is 6GB+, with at least a few gigabytes of swap. Think 15+ browser windows with at least a few tabs each, plus Mail, iMessage, Notes, Roon, and whatever else I'm using.Įvery so often, I notice it slow down, I go look at Activity Monitor, and I see that memory pressure was just in the red, sometimes at multiple times. I tend to have a pretty large number of things open at any given time. In the few weeks I've had it, I have determined that 8GB of memory just isn't enough for me, as fast as the computer usually is. I got it on sale for $599, so I figured I'd at least try it out. First, I bought a Mac mini with 8GB of memory.
