Hey everyone,
I’ve got a base model 2020 MacBook Air i3 and I’ve noticed it doesn’t perform the best. However, after upgrading to Big Sur the battery life was just shot. Everything is laggy, takes forever to open, the laptop runs hot, fans are always on, etc. I’m really really disappointed. Is anyone else having this issue? If so, how do you remedy it?
