Pixea Plus instal1/17/2024 ![]() EdgeView 3 may well be better in this regard, but no free trial or other indication that it's improved makes me hesitant to get that. I'm used to something more instantaneous. My only beef with it is that there's a lag between deleting an image and when the app reflects that. What I have found most comparable to my liking is EdgeView 2, on the App Store. It has had some weird issues since at least Big Sur, maybe Catalina, that have gone unaddressed. ![]() MacPaw bought it out from the original developer several years ago, but I guess they are too busy hawking CleanMyMac to pay it any attention. I previously mentioned Xee, but the developer has largely abandoned it. The only downside to it is that if you have a lot of larger images, it's very slow to move through them. I really suspect the problem might be full/slow SSD speeds here.NSMacGuru's trick to activate the QuickView feature with the spacebar is a nice one that I only recently stumbled into myself (it had never occurred to me to use it to page through multiple files, not just use it for the one in focus). I have no evidence this is what is going on, but the new 13” M2 MacBook Pro uses a single chip of memory for the 256GB configuration, so maybe that is what Apple does now.Įdit: In addition to posting a screenshot of your RAM usage in Activity Monitor, try running a speed test on your SSD with something like Blackmagic Disk Speed Test (free on App Store). That effectively halves your SSD speeds, again leading to slower swap. I also wonder of Apple has switched to single 256GB chips of RAM for current production of the M1 Air. I have also seen lots of people getting hit with lags and beach balls when just using the internet with the base RAM and SSD configuration. I have seen lots of people get by fine with 8GB of RAM, as long as they had 512GB or larger SSD. ![]() 256GB is not a lot of storage, so you get stuck with slow swap. I would say ideally both.ĨGB is not a lot of RAM, so the Air will need to rely more on swap to the SSD. You either need 16GB of RAM or 512GB of storage. No video editing, no photo editing, no Adobe. browsing the web, typing a document, and listening to Music? I am also only getting like 7-8 hours on the battery. If I was under normal workload with two browsers, 2-3 dozen tabs, Adobe open, Music, Slack, etc., I'd get it. What am I doing wrong? I know it is a base model, but I am not doing anything. Several times a day music freezes and I have to close some tabs. Currently, I have 12 tabs and Apple Music playing. I have to keep Activity Monitor open to force quit processes. With around 10 tabs open in Safari and listening to Apple Music, I keep getting spinning beach balls, and everything freezes, music hiccups, stop playing, etc. For the past month, all I have used the computer for is to browse the Internet, listen to Apple Music, use Google Docs, and play a really old RPG game Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition. Either my Air is jacked or people are lying. I watched all these YouTube videos and read threads on MR about how efficient the M1 is and 8GB would be plenty for average (non-pro) use. I figured with the 90-day return policy it would hold me over until Pros were back in stock. I couldn't find a MacBook Pro at the time and needed a personal computer ASAP, so I bought the base M1 MacBook Air at Costco for $849. Anyhow, my most recent MacBook Pro is 2017 which is always hot, with fans running nonstop, battery on its last legs, etc. As a Media Arts teacher doing graphic design, photography, video editing, etc., and also lots of tabs open, the Pro has been vital. My last several MacBook Pros all have had 16GBs. I have had several variations of the 15 in pro going back to when it was a PowerBook. A little over a month ago I needed a computer ASAP.
