Interesting. I had the opposite experience. I had a 16GB M1, and once the RAM is exhausted it grinds to a halt - everything lags, including simple tasks like switching browser tabs, every now and then the spinning beach ball of death would come on. It was the worst experience I've had in a modern laptop.
Now I'm on a 64GB M1 Max and things are super snappy again. (Monterey on the other hand is buggy as hell, simple things like tap to click and pinch to zoom are broken. [1])

- nostromo 5y agoTry using Safari instead of Chrome. Chrome on M1 is a lackluster experience. Safari is amazingly fast, even with a hundred open tabs. You can tell Apple has been optimizing a web browser on their own silicon for a long time.
- fredwu 5y agoI use Firefox as my main browser, and Brave as my secondary. Safari might be blazingly fast but unfortunately I rely on a lot of extensions that don't exist on Safari. And I rely on Firefox's containers too. :)
- sys_64738 5y agoThese trackpad issues were fixed a long time ago.
- fredwu 5y agoNo it hasn't. If you read the latest relies (including mine) in the thread, you'll notice that CMD/SHIFT + tap is still broken, at least on the 14". I'm on the latest 12.3 beta too.
