not mysteriously slow down in a noticeable way. Conceptually, as an OS is refined, it should be more efficient. I doubt it is actually because the old hardware "slows down" but that the OS is prob engineered to make it seem like increasingly-aging hardware is slowing down.
SIZEUP FOR MAC MAC
I think my 2017 iMac runs great with Monterey, whereas it's merely good on the 2017 12" Core m3 dual-core MacBook 16 GB and 2014 dual-core Core i5 Mac mini 8 GB. While I notice some lag occasionally on my 12" MacBook, I don't notice that on my 2017 iMac. I don't have a 2019, but I do have a 2017 Core i5 quad-core iMac with 24 GB RAM. I think 8 GB is fine is light usage in Monterey, but 16 GB is better for somewhat heavier usage.įor a 2019 iMac I probably wouldn't notice a major speed difference between Catalina and Monterey, at least if it had 16 GB or more. Also, having sufficient memory would probably reduce any noticeable changes. OTOH, Safari has actually gotten faster over time by some measures so that mitigates the differences. So I guess I'm saying the differences are probably cumulative. It's sometimes easier to notice a bit of a difference between older OSes and Monterey though. I tried Big Sur briefly with my ancient 2014 Mac mini and it was pretty much the same on Monterey at least with my business type usage.
macOS is working extremely well me now.Ĭlick to expand.I find that it's hard to notice a significant difference in general between Catalina and Big Sur and between Big Sur and Monterey, even on slower machines. I hope they are aware of this usability issue and have worked on some behavioural improvements. Command-Tabbing to switch apps used to work much more predictably, but now seems to be intercepted by other apps that are opening or raising alerts, resulting in the wrong app being selected in the switcher.Dropbox is there), but it's no longer possible to drag-and-drop an app onto the toolbar to create a quick shortcut. It seems apps do have the ability to be featured in the toolbar (eg. Restore ability to store app shortcuts in window toolbars by drag-and-drop.This has been seriously overlooked for too many years, but I've seen rumblings that they are aiming to improve the window design.
