I love my M1, but does anyone else have horrific performance when resuming from wake? It’s like it swaps everything to disk and takes a full minute to come back to life.
Worse, for some of us when it does finally wake up the monitor, sometimes it wakes it up with all the wrong colors, and rebooting is the only reliable fix. (and before anyone asks, yes, I tried a different HDMI cable)
It's much faster if the monitor has been used recently, though, so I always figured it was the monitor that was causing the delay by going into some deep sleep state?
It's just "cheap speakers" bad, though, not anything that would suggest an issue with the sound output from the M1. I've used the LG with a few different Macs, and sound quality is the same from any of them.
Have you tried a USB-C/thunderbolt cable/controller tho?
This may prompt me to upgrade prematurely, if/when the next M1 MBP comes out with more than two ports.
I don't have any performance issues waking up though.
Sometimes this will happen multiple times per page load if I deselect and reselect the password field.
This makes me realise how much of a pain it has been to use in the past weeks or so. Now that it is back to normal snappy it is such a pleasure to work with again.
It is my only issue with M1.
My experience maintaining projects is actually not that people don't provide enough info in their bugs (certainly true for random forum rants though), but when they try they try too hard and end up spending a long time writing a bunch of stuff I don't even read, because the log speaks for itself.
In this case you're not necessarily reaching an engineer, it could go to someone who combines reports together, or the fix is because of your report but it doesn't get communicated back properly, but it's still letting someone know it's a problem.
I suspect it’s because I have five monitors and 20 million pixels (actually more as that’s the post-retina resolution).
Rendering a FPS game at 1080p is 2 million pixels per frame. At 60fps, that's rendering 120 million pixels per second.
What am I missing?
Of course for general tasks it was slower, but I really remember that thing waking up instantly when I raised the lid, every time.
(It's still way faster than the same set of apps on an Intel Mac laptop, where it could sometimes take on the order of 30 seconds to get to a usable desktop after a long sleep. On Intel Macs it seemed more obvious that the GPU was the bottleneck)
I have buggy apps (like Facebook Messenger) locking up, but I guess that's normal, I just uninstall them.
I guess the only drawback compared to MB Air is that it's a bit heavier.
Maybe desktop platforms sleep differently than laptops?
I do occasionally have an issue where the brightness on the built in display is borked and won’t adjust back to the correct level for anywhere between 30s to a few minutes.
And then I don’t know if it’s my monitor or the M1, but sometimes there will be a messed up run of consecutive pixel columns about 1/10th of the screen wide starting about 30% from the left of the display. The entire screen in that region is shifted a few pixels upwards. Sometimes it’s hard to notice it but once you do it can’t be unseen. Replugging the monitor into the M1 resolves the issue.
