I have a question about how well Intel-based Macs handle macOS 26 Tahoe. I already know that this version is more optimized for Apple Silicon and is the last version for Intel Macs, but I’m curious if older Intel Macs can still run it smoothly. Does Tahoe perform decently on those machines such as the MacBook Pro 13-inch, 2020 4ports or the MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2019, or does it feel heavier compared to macOS Sonoma and Ventura? I’m especially wondering if animations, app launches, and general responsiveness are noticeably slower. Does Intel UHD Graphics 630 or Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 struggle with Liquid Glass?
