M1 16 GB using unusual amount of RAM
Hi there,
I’ve recently purchased the M1 MBA (16 GB). I haven’t used Mac before so I’m not sure if this is normal but my system used around 50% (7.5-8 GB) of RAM with safari having just 2-3 tabs open + finder (that’s all!)
I keep seeing a lot of cached safari content in the activity Center.
I wanted to understand if this is normal behaviour? If not, what should I do about it?
P.S - there are no extensions on safari, I’ve tried clearing cache and restarting the system. It initially boots up with around 4 GB/16 but goes as high as 8 GB after using safari for around 5 minutes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
