Every M1 Mac is due for a 2022 refresh with faster M2 chip, new designs
I don’t understand the magic at work in an 8gb M1 macbook air.<p>If i run android emulator (consuming 4-6Gb) + iPhone simulator (1-2Gb) + react native hot reload toolchain (1-4gb) + vscode (1-2gb) + firefox (1-3gb) all concurrently, then my memory pressure is around 65%, i have about 3gb swapped but very little paging activity.<p>Everything feels snappy.<p>What is this magic? I was convinced it would be the speedy SSD masking the page faults but there’s very little swapping going on.<p>Quite taken with it tbh. Still think MacOS is crap overall though. Soon as linux is viable on M1 as a daily driver, i am checking out of macos.
