This is what I don't understand.
MacBooks, which are frequently advertised as being "the greatest ever", run Teams so poorly while mediocre Windows and Linux laptops barely feel Teams running.
I write this from a client-issued $1000 Windows laptop that is running a ton of crap plus Teams with no fan sound to be heard. While the Intel MacBook next to me is screaming from just a few browser tabs and slack.
- astrange 4y agoA browser tab and “just” shouldn’t appear in the same sentence, any given browser tab is running a large piece of complex software written entirely in JavaScript with no performance testing.
- hu3 4y agoI just checked the tabs. 2 google searches, 4 stack overflow, spotify, azure devops git repo with a medium sized file opened. None of which are CPU intensive according to Chrome task manager. So yes, they are "just" some tabs. Intel macs are notorious for being literal hot screamers. I read similar complains frequently on HN.
