Ask HN: Do you think your Mac becomes slower?

by clubdorothe on 5/20/21, 7:29 AM with 1 comments

I have a 2018 MacBook Pro with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and i7.

I do feel that my mac is becoming slower while I'm not doing anything fancy. I do wonder if people have some feeling of slowness when navigating websites, opening apps or typing commands in the cli?

I don't do anything fancy. I have VScode doing some node/python/php. I run Docker few time to time , have about 30 Chrome tabs open (with tab suspender). Notion / Spotify / Terminal are constantly opens.

    No, I have my installation since the first intel iMac and upgrading/cloning with Carbon Copy Cloner. Only with my M1 I used the Migration Assistant.

    But you have check all your login items, extensions, ecc… also have always the SSD almost full can degrades Mac performance.
