Macbook Air m2 Slowness

Hi All,

I've had my M2 Macbook air (16/512) for a little over a year and I've noticed weird issues with it since I got it. Mainly I notice that things like scrolling through web pages feels slow/choppy at times, and video can also appear to play slowly or out of sync. I have sent it off to be repaired three times, and Apple has replaced the logic board and display as well as reset the OS. I have also reset the OS once or twice.


I have continued to notice the issues and I'm not sure what to do aside from send it off to Apple again for nothing to be done. My RAM and storage usage is consistently low and in the green, and no single app is using a lot of memory. The only apps I use are chrome/safari/firefox and a few other low memory intensive apps. I have tried safe mode, and other user profiles which seems to slightly help the issue, although not completely. Does anyone have any tips?


Thank you

MacBook Air

I'd suggest downloading/installing/running a free program called Etrecheck, then posting the full report back here. Etrecheck is a program that will allow us to see possible areas that can cause the sluggishness you're seeing. It reveals no private information.

We'll be happy to examine the Etrecheck report once you've posted it.
