Anybody get or see the new color in person? First world I know but I might eventually end up with two ARM MBPs (one work-issued and managed) so thinking about getting the personal one in space black for easy differentiation.

Wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of diagnosing this, every few days my Mac will suddenly grind to a total halt, windows become very slow to respond, moving between apps is next to impossible, and the system seems to be pushing a sisyphean rock up a hill for 6 minutes. Then suddenly stops as if nothing had happened.

It's really hard to track down because Activity monitor doesn't record it, and iStat simply says Kernel Task.

Any ideas?

Do you have Mcafee or anything like that on there?

Yesterday I was working with a few huge data files and had parallels open and was having a Google Meets call with someone and my M2 Air was struggling and I realized a new Pro could probably handle all that stuff easily.

Probably should've bought more RAM ;)

I was told that 16 GB would be plenty for most applications 😐

TBF the M2 Air can handle nearly everything I throw at it and it’s become my favorite computer. I love how lightweight and slim it is and how I can throw it in a tote or a backpack and not have to worry about the weight. It would definitely be a trade off.

In general, this is probably true, but once you start throwing VMs into the mix, all bets are off.
