16'' MacBook Pro M3 Max stutters just scrolling web pages and PDF documents
Ok, so I bought into Apple marketing and splurged for maxed out 16'' MacBook Pro M3 Max with 128 GB and 8 TB SSD, only to be utterly shocked by how poorly this machine performs on mundane things like scrolling text and images. Opening any web page (does not have to be complex like Youtube) and just scrolling up down makes this machine stutter, miss frames and exhibit choppy page rendering.
Scrolling PDF documents up/down renders black strip artifacts (space between pages is ghosting). This is really disappointing. I didn't see something like this since early 2010.
Not sure if this is hardware issue (I haven't gone to Apple store to check out another machine), but wondering if anyone else has seen this as well?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.1
