This kind of blows my mind.
I'm running the lowest spec m1 with 8 gigs of ram for my daily driver.
I frequently have tens of chrome browser tabs open across multiple profiles, multiple chrome debuggers, at least two or three VS code instances, multiple high memory nodejs processes, video conferencing, screen sharing and building code all at the same time - and the thing runs smoothly without a hiccup. And does it on battery! For a full work day, at least.
Weighs less than a pixie's fart.
I can't even imagine the capabilities the new m3 max has with that kind of memory and power available.
It's going to pinch, but I guess I'll be finding out in a few weeks.
- abhinavk 3y agoWhat's your swap used and memory pressure in Activity Monitor? Regarding Chromium browsers, I have noticed that they tend to unload tabs more aggressively these days.
- Osiris 3y agoI have the same one and it’s neigh unusable. The memory is constantly maxed out and it freezes frequently while swapping. I can’t use it. It’s in a drawer somewhere.
- claytongulick 3y agoThat's so wild - I wonder what the difference is? My m1 is so good it seriously makes me wonder if I really need to upgrade. What kind of workload are you running on yours?
