i’m not in a rush to upgrade, but potentially next year or when they upgrade the Air with the M3 chips is when i’m thinking of upgrading

did you upgrade the RAM? i’m finding anytime I am using both Lr and Ps and doing any sort of retouching is when it really bogs down the worst. it’s using a ton of swap when doing that. if just using lightroom it’s okay but when I get into doing more intense editing, using healing brush or denoise it really starts to slow
