Memory leaks in M1 MacBooks.

https://www.macworld.com/article/549755/m1-macbook-app-memory-leaks-macos.html

The newest machines are spendy, so I've been occasionally looking at the older M1. The 8 GB RAM has always given me pause - this story makes me want to wait even longer.

Update 11/7: Since I wrote this column, several Macworld readers have reached out with similar issues on M1 MacBooks. Some readers have had luck with disabling extensions and other have suggested it’s related to Webkit. There are also lengthy Hacker News and Reddit threads with users recounting their experiences.

It's expected that new machines will have problems, but Apple always fixes issues like these on its own timeline... :-/

Cheers,
Scott.
