Ask HN: Has anyone had memory problems with their M1 Mac?

2 pointsby siegbennover 3 years ago
I bought an M1 MacBook Air last November and it has been just okay. It&#x27;s a super fast machine, but occasionally I experience mouse lag &#x2F; graphics tearing. The Apple store techs diagnosed this as a trackpad issue (and have replaced it twice). But, I think it&#x27;s a memory issue, as it only happens when my device is swapping a lot of memory; it goes away when I turn swapping off.<p>Has anyone else experienced issues like this?

I get mouse stuttering on my Mac Mini if I&#x27;m using my computer incorrectly and I&#x27;m doing way too many things way too stupidly. I don&#x27;t have a touchpad I don&#x27;t even have an apple input device I just have a Bluetooth Logitech k830. But the stutter is system wide it&#x27;s not just the mouse. If you&#x27;re watching a video or if you&#x27;re doing anything you could plainly see that Mac OS loses its ability to be real time for a little bit. But this happens to me very very rarely and I do use my Mac Mini all day everyday because it&#x27;s my TV&#x27;s computer and that&#x27;s where I watch everything.<p>Edit: it&#x27;s the cheapest model that came out at launch with the lowest memory and the smallest drive.
