i bought one usb c hub from ugreen, however it seems sluggish when i use my normal usb wireless logitech mouse.
The mouse however works well when i plug it with direct usb C > usb A converter.
anyone experienced this?
*
im using logitech direct connect bluetooth.. no usb. lil bit expensive, but worth the money. no connection problem so far..

which model you are using right now?

------------------------------------------------------

coming from windows user, 1st time using Mac here, this mouse thing is quite different between 2 platforms.

To scroll page down, by maintaining mouse scroll down.

Windows
trackpad - push up
mouse - scroll down

Mac
trackpad - pull down
mouse - scroll down

I know there is a setting in mouse/trackpad for the natural gesture. But when I changed the setting in trackpad, it will subsequently change the mouse setting in meantime.

Did I miss something?
*
logitech m337

im not sure about the trackpad... mine seems fine

All 16gb model are custom made. Shops usually dont have custom macs. Online is the only way to customize

this. they only carry base model..

however, you can still order @ switch tho.. walk in, order, full payment.. wait for pick up / delivery... might as well order direct @ apple online store lol.

I think the generalization of Windows = Lag, Hang, and Crash is a bit outdated in 2020. They are very good these days. I'm using Windows for PC and never had an issue with it.

maybe mine was old and low RAM...

but okla... now i have MBA.. seems happy... all very smooth thumbup.gif

This macbook air is not suitable for gaming, i tested with some high end game, the CPU's temperature is higher than 100C.. i quickly shut it down.
Bear in mind, there is no fan for this macbook air..so if you want to play games on it, only for light gaming.
