Check the Wi-Fi settings and ensure the correct network is selected. Restart your laptop to resolve lag issues. If the problem persists, try resetting network settings or contact support for further assistance.

Identify the exact MacBook Air model you're using. Common models include the 13th, 14th, or 15th generation. When it lags, you might experience issues with resource-heavy apps like video editing software, large databases, or complex games.

Device details: Macbook Air (early 2015) with 8GB RAM, Intel i5 processor, 128GB SSD. No software is active, and performance slows when moving the cursor.

Mac may have a built-in task manager, though it's not as prominent as on other platforms. Checking the system preferences or using shortcuts can help you find it.

It does, Activity Monitor. It also includes a Network section to display what's consuming your internet connection.

In the Monitor section, there are no processes consuming resources or accessing the network.

Hi, in my case the Wi-Fi card failed, which is why no network appeared. Also, the laptop slowed down a lot when I connected to Wi-Fi. Thanks for your help.
