Has anyone noticed their M1 macbook air slow down a little? I understand that this is the natural progression of all technology, regardless of power, but the little lags that I’m noticing and the slightly slower loading times are very new to me, I had a 2014 Air before this one, and it was loaded with files, I never had any issues like this with it, maybe cause that computer was slow to begin with, especially compared to my M1? I checked for junk files and everything, restarted the laptop, and even ended up resetting it, but the tiny little lags and slowing loading times still haven’t gone. Did I damage the SSD somehow? I’m not really sure what is happening, but it is kinda bothersome

    My Macbook Air M1 is almost 3 years old now. I think my Air runs fine, very well even. I’ve updated it to Sonoma, and I honestly have no issues with the speed.

    At one point, Safari seemed quite slow but I discovered that I had too many adblock extensions installed. Got rid of a few of them and Safari is a lot speedier now. Some apps are slow but they tend to be apps that haven’t been converted to support Apple Silicon yet but I’m very content with the way my Macbook Air is running.
