However on my 16gb laptop, chrome takes just about 1-2 gb and Never crash i use to use postman, slack, discord etc in chrome only, but had to switch to their desktop apps due to this and even after this huge memory hogging, chrome crashes like once every day.

chrome takes 10+ gb on a 8gb ram device while being an apple silicon optimised app and playing just 8-10 apps. the m1 has a limitation in this area in the fact that only images of sdk 28-33 are available for creating emulator in m1Īnd 1 important issue with 8gb ram is how badly chrome hogs it all. The emulators seem to run smoothly for any apple laptop in general, idk how they pull this. and for my previous it 7th gen hp laptop, it was 40-45 mins. for intel it used to be around 20-25 mins.

the m1 models are very good i terms of performance my company's android app whose code size is quite big ( without compiling is around 400mb and gralde build, around 1.2 gb) compiles in 8 minutes for clean build and around 3-4 mins thereafter. previously had a mbp intel i5 10th gen from work. You will have a dialog something like this, Select Apply.I have a 8gb macbook pro m1 from work and 16 gb pro m1 for personal use.Untick All the Packages, and keep them in your mind because you will retick them in the next step.So here are the simple steps to the solution: after some digging around, the root of the problem was that I have transferred all my data from my old Mac (using Time Machine) which uses Intel (The other Mac is Macbook Pro 2011 13 Inch Intel), so other than a lot of apps which did not run or ran sluggishly and I had to reinstall their ARM version, the Android SDK Tools were transfered too. I've had this problem with my new Macbook Pro M1 Pro (Macbook Pro 2021 14 Inch M1 Pro).
