Edit: Well, the "fix" is to just disable automatic graphics switching. I recommend Apple products to anyone who wants to feel like they spent $2000 on a quality product. ROFL wait n/m
Is this just part for the course or something? #SteveJobsDied
The video is just one example of these tiny lags. It happens in every app, and regardless of input device. External, internal, trackpad, mouse, whatever.
The video was using an external keyboard and I was typing deliberately loud so you could notice the lag at the end.
The laptop is basically brand new. (Yes, I erased Big Sur and installed Catalina. And I wanted the last Intel MacBook Pro with a decent amount of memory, because it's probably my last Mac ever).
It did not do this when I first got it. The tiny lags have been maybe the last week or so.
I'll run the standard kind of diagnostic things and update the thread.
(And of course, while typing this post, my internet goes out, because apparently I live in Iraq now.)
