Despite being what I would think of as a "light user", my MBA '18 is absolutely glacial most of the time. My memory pressure is frequently yellow or red. I have 50 or so tabs (yes, I get some people hate lots of tabs. I don't. my iPhone has over 300. i'm not changing) open between Safari and Chrome, Discord, Facebook Messenger, and (iOS) Messages as my constant apps. Occasionally a VPN/Citrix. Will the upgrade from the 1.6GHz i6 to the M2 solve my woes, or is it really more of a memory issue and I'd be better off with the 16GB?
Got a tip for us?
