Video freezes and/or is choppy Mac Mini M2 Pro - Definitely not overloaded
So, having gone from i7 iMac to M2 Pro Mac Mini, I am wondering why I bothered. The video playback is a mess. Both online and offline video regularly stops (audio continues) and restarts. Offline video and online video... Prime, Netflix, Youtube, TV etc etc. Apalling for what is supposed to be a very capable platform. I have seen much on here that simply does not fit. Not excessively overloaded - more than half memory available at any point in time (I have 32GB). No anti-virus, I have killed the CleanmyMac health checker... Followed all the suggestions but no change, no benefit. This is Sonoma 14.1. Mind you, I see a lot of issues at Ventura too. Why did they not correct the situation? I can run Entrecheck but it raises NO major issues and the remainder are kext minor issues but no one seems to be able to definitely say what can be removed, or indeed whether it is any benefit. Have I made a terrible mistake moving to Apple Silicon?
