I have a super fast M2 Max 14" and when I have the laptop open and I'm working in Illustrator on my Apple monitor it lags really really badly (and has done since I got it a few months ago). Just selecting items, moving, recolouring etc and Illustrator appears to freeze for a second or two. The moment I close the laptop it works smoothly on my main monitor. It's infurating because I like to use my laptop monitor for reference docs/Zoom etc etc while working in Illustrator. Is anyone else experiencing this and or know of a solution?

I never found a specific solution, however, at some point through system and/or Adobe updates this has resolved itself and is no longer happening.

Same Here. I'm with a brand new Macbook Pro M2 Max, 64gb, 12-Core CPU/30-Core GPU and it is impossible to work with, incredible slow... is there any solution? were you able to fix it?

Hi @mbtassino,

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing slowness on your brand-new MacBook Pro. That sounds frustrating, especially with such powerful hardware.

To better assist you, could you please provide more details about the specific issues you're encountering? For example:

Are you experiencing lag only when performing certain actions, such as moving objects or using specific tools/features?
Does the slowness occur consistently across all files you're working with, or is it specific to certain files?
Are there any particular features or tools within Illustrator that seem to exacerbate the issue?
Have you noticed any patterns or commonalities when the slowness occurs?

By understanding more about your workflow and the circumstances surrounding the slowness, we'll be better equipped to offer you targeted assistance and solutions.

Looking forward to hearing back from you so we can help resolve this issue!

Best regards,

Anshul Saini
