It is definitely because of insufficient of memory, it happens to me too, but my friend 16gb MBA M1 is smoother.

Will ask my sis-in-law when i see her during CNY. she's using m1 macbook air with 8GB ram also. laptop was fine last year when i saw her last.

Kan ada M3 MacBook, Apple want your money cause you in their ecosystem no choice already it’s the only way.

Appple dogshit fans doesnt understand the reality they are being sold cheap shit at extreme high price

Just doing basic stuff also not enough ram.

Looks like the latest OS eat a lot of ram.

serious question, MBA M2 8GB/256GB can handle 8K30 HEVC video encoding?
saw youtube, MBA M2 weaker than MM M2

8gb kennot, will lag until u will throw away
ayam have experience try to edit 8k video on base m1 b4

what's macosx idle ram usage?

with the most basic service running

thank you for your answer.
so cancel taking mba m2 from maxis.

cannot update one, must use old os

What you use it for
I been using for school never lag before

My normal M1 16GB from 2020 still works great. I use it for mobile app dev, have Chrome 50 tabs, two IDEs and Zoom call screen share going at same time no issue also.

...
my 12 years old beat up thinkpepet also 16gb ram.

My M1 8GB MBA ok je..

Probably a YOU problem

got plugin external storage? my m2 mac mini have issue updating new firmware all the time . slow boot.. slow update like stuck for 6-8 hrs. bring to switch say ok. boot fine. sometimes finder hang.. then another update come, same issue. stuck at apple logo. bring back switch again say no boot issue. bring back prblem again. then kinda suspect my extenal ssd issue.. format it and no issue since. yesterday new update also no issue updating..

User face problem

Since when M1 is a performance laptop

It's for show off only
