MacOS Mojave feels similar to MacOS Vista.
MacOS Mojave feels similar to MacOS Vista.
And another 500+ personal problems. It seems like either the hardware is bad or the software isn't working right.
I'm using a 2012 Mac Mini that's been updated to Mojave recently, mainly for the dark mode. It feels more stable compared to High Sierra, and has provided a better experience overall. High Sierra was really problematic—I experienced frequent crashes almost every day.
Never experienced problems with a single issue with Sierra. With Mojave, the interface became slow.
It shows different results depending on the situation. Version X doesn't always mean a problem with one specific machine model. The 2017 non-touch bar MacBook Pro had some issues, but I went to an Apple store a couple of times and faced many problems installing the OS. Mojave was much smoother. You might want to reinstall or roll back to an older version that works better for you.
Consider purchasing a brand-new, sleek, and expensive MacBook Pro instead. Wouldn't it be better to redirect your funds from Apple?
I own a MacBook Air from 2012 with a mid-2012 MacBook Air core i5 featuring 8 gigabytes of RAM and macOS Mojave. It’s running fine without any problems. Sure, it isn’t the fastest setup, but it’s a dual-core processor from that era. Generally, my machine stays between 60 to 65 degrees Celsius during simple tasks such as browsing the web, streaming videos, and handling emails. When I switch to using Photoshop on a second monitor (a 1080p display), the CPU temperature rises to around 85°C until I increase the fan speed to 100%. After that, it drops back to about 65-70°C. I’d suggest restarting the computer if it hasn’t been done already, install "iStat Menu" and consider purchasing a key (around $15) for better insights into system activity. Also, take a look at Activity Monitor. Edit: This machine has been in use for roughly a year and a half now; before that I had High Sierra, and temperatures have remained similar. Now the processor usage is slightly higher during idle time (about 10% usage compared to 5-6% previously). Edited December 20, 2018 by Chobischtroumpf
