Last week i got 2020 Macbook Pro (intel) 32G RAM version from office. To my surprise i experienced the following issues, which i never imagined given the hype i had received when i was using Windows.
1. Slack is still hogging CPU (through Slack renderer helper)
- Found old thread from 2017, which seemed still relevant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14087899
- One more from reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Slack/comments/jvxx0m/anyone_else_experience_high_cpu_usage_on_mac/
2. Zoom call with all videos ON made the MacBook Pro's fans go crazy! Literally i was hearing the sound of fan in full volume! (this i never seen in Windows with 16G RAM)
3. McAfee Endpoint Security in kext mode is draining battery at a faster pace! its like 1% drop in every 1/2 minutes! Found a link on switching to kext-less mode: https://docs.mcafee.com/bundle/endpoint-security-10.6.0-installation-guide-macOS/page/GUID-74D9510B-A542-4811-AF36-78EA5949128A.html
These are some sample issues from 2 days of usage for my first time into Mac world.
Given the user friendliness focus from Apple, shouldn't they take care of such issues which makes the user feel bad? Because, user can't run around each app developer to optimize the app not to drain the resource/memory of Mac OS.
Given the fact the MacBook Pro is premium segment, these kind of issues are not supposed to be faced/handled by user.
