I recently bought and returned a 15” MBA 24GB RAM and 1TB SSD. First time getting a Mac from a Dell XPS 15 9510 i9 64gb RAM 2tb SSD.
The problem with the MBA was it froze when I had slack calls, video was lagging and then it all would freeze up every minute for a few seconds during screen sharing the point I couldn’t continue the calls that way I wasn’t able to screen share anymore or have my camera on to avoid freezing.
I’d have safari open, a PowerPoint, slack and miro. Now ngl I loved the Mac OS and I do have an iPad and iPhone. Considering one of the m3 laptops just not sure how much RAM I should get and if it is worth it. I feel it’s a big price difference.
I’d use it for architectural design and business meetings, browsing, reports, presentation, reading online, meetings, etc.
Any tips? Advice? Stuck on this especially that it’s several thousand dollars difference from an air which most people said would be more than enough with 24gb RAM
For everyone saying the computer has a fault, this just happened to me as well I couldn’t have safari, slack, and miro open doing a call on slack with screen share it froze up and got warm. Looks like a consistent flaw I’ve heard some say it just can’t handle multitasking even with 24gb ram. Also hearing what you’re saying that it’s a flawed device to go and get it checked. At this point honestly don’t know what the answer is. Anyone have an MBA that IS able to run heavier software and isn’t dealing with freezing?
