[QUOTE="Top19, post: 1745342, member: 383464"] Hi All: I recently bought the new Macbook Pro. Long story short, I have been having some odd performance hiccups for a new computer that I considered pretty top of the line at the time of purchase. I don't see anything unusual happening in activity monitor, and I usually have at least 4 GB of RAM remaining. Are the issues that are happening (I list them below) to be expected of with new hardware running a new OS? Are they just to be expected of with computers in general (I remember growing up no matter how much money my Dad spent on a computer it would always BSOD)? Am I just running into software / developer issues, related to the code they wrote and not my machine? I know I'm kind of all over the place here, but just curious what other people's experience has been with the new MBP. [B]Things that are happening:[/B] [LIST] [*]When I go to adjust certain settings in System Settings, the Macbook will freeze for 45-60 seconds with the spinning beachball [*]When I switched user accounts earlier today, the system froze on a black screen. I had to manually power down the computer [*]Various apps freezing, crashing, or losing major functionality. This actually does not happen too often, but I've seen it with Omnifocus, Calendar, 1Password, Evernote, and Postbox. [*]Other odd annoying things that I'm frustrated I can't remember as I type this but I certainly remember feeling emotionally! [/LIST] [B] Things you should know about my computer:[/B] [LIST] [*]I try to limit my browser tabs, I never have more than 10 or so open. [*]I do have a ton of menubar apps open (10-15 in addition to system defaults), as I love the little mini-functionality they provide. Things like copy-em paste, flux, bettertouchtool, myspeed, etc. [*]I occasionally will have WebStorm IDE open, but that's the only developing that's going on on my machine [/LIST] [B]Here are my specs: [/B] [LIST] [*]MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016) [*]2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 [*]16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3 [*] 500 GB SSD [/LIST] Thanks all for any suggestions you might have. If you'd like to see any other stats, please let me know. [/QUOTE]
