Macbook pro 14 lagging

Hi, has anyone's MacBook pro 14 started lagging a bit too much? Mine for some reason has been underperforming too much for my liking. 10 tabs of safari and 2 instances of preview and then safari becomes unresponsive. Sometimes I even get stuck on desktop, can't open any applications on the dock, or do anything. I have to restart to fix that. This has happened twice. My mac has 32gb of ram and I just got it for more than 2 weeks, so this is pretty unacceptable. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks y'all.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.1

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.

I believe we need to proceed with an EtreCheck report. EtreCheck is a useful App to diagnose and identify issues, both hardware and software. It is trusted by many users. Please follow the steps outlined below:

Navigate to: https://etrecheck.com and get the free version of EtreCheckPro.
Download it. It is a free and trusted app. It is often recommended here on Apple Support Communities.
Open EtreCheck, and before running the report, be sure to check “Allow full Drive Access” at the bottom of the EtreCheckPro window.
Run the report, and put it in a post, as shown here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250000211. We will then examine the report for issues in your Mac

Cheers,

Jack
