I just bought a MacBook Air m4 16GB and planned to use it for development, but it is not suitable. It heats up terribly and loses battery very quickly. Basically all the resources are used up. The version is the latest 1.7, but even if I change to the older version, there is no improvement. I have only opened a cursor application, and it still heats up terribly. I am really disappointed.
Hey, it’s possible that some process is excessively consuming your CPU/RAM resources. Could you check which processes are being used while Cursor is running?
Start by checking the built-in Activity Monitor, then use Process Explorer in Cursor itself. There’s also a chance the issue might be related to one or more extensions, so try launching with the flag cursor --disable-extensions. The issue might also be related to the specifics of the project, have you tried checking this in other projects?
It would be great if you could share the info and screenshots of the processes used.
