Just checking if any of you in the MacBook thread have begun to install Ventura now that it’s officially out.
I have the i5 16gb ram 512 version myself and haven’t done it yet.

I have the i7 512GB 16GB MB12 and installed Ventura....works fine.Just checking if any of you in the MacBook thread have begun to install Ventura now that it’s officially out.

I'm always wary of these reports because after EVERY macOS general update, there are complaints of reduced battery life. Similarly after EVERY iOS/iPadOS general update, there are complaints of reduced battery life.In the Ventura subforum there are complaints of significantly reduced battery life, but seems to be mostly M1 Macs?
I'm hesitant to go to Ventura because of this on my 2017/M3/8.
Of course I could downgrade (unlike iOS!) again, but seems like a lot of trouble for dubious benefit.
Bad RAM? Overheating? Have you tried booting off an earlier OS to see what happens?Since upgrading end of last week, its been i've been getting this screen anywhere from 5 to 30min of usage. I have the error logs saved and also sent to apple but id love to know what the error is

Same thing for me. Seems to sometimes be triggered if I streaming video like YouTube but not always. Also noticed that the startup chime goes away and I had to reset NVRAM regularly to get it back (wonder what that means?)Since upgrading end of last week, its been i've been getting this screen anywhere from 5 to 30min of usage.

You got the same as mine. M3 2017.Would running onyx help? Just got one off eBay (2017 m3) and wondering if that might speed anything or all placebo at this point.
Yeah, I wouldn't run anything older than Big Sur, although my preference would be Monterey or later, and I personally run Ventura.You got the same as mine. M3 2017.
From my experience with this little, i think that High Sierra/Mojave have the best performance/battery of all systems but they are now just too old.
Ventura is a no for me. Monterey runs fine but for me if you want an updated and recent OS with a good Safari, good performance and good battery (again, not the same as High Sierra/Mojave) is Big Sur.
Safari updated, much more apps compability, still get some security patches, new interface design, etc
I have the 2017 MacBook i5, 8gb ram, 512 gb SSD. Upgraded to Ventura 13.4.1 three weeks ago from Mojave. I did a clean install since I moved up four OSs. I'm impressed at the performance overall. I didn't notice anything slowing down. Battery life is good...maybe a bit less than with Mojave. I haven't noticed any drain overnight like some people have mentioned.Just checking if any of you in the MacBook thread have begun to install Ventura now that it’s officially out.
