I have a 2017 i5 12-inch Macbook Retina and am wondering if anyone with a similar model has updated to Ventura. Is it okay? Laggy? And how is the battery life? Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

Works fine on my 2016 m5 12" MacBook. Using OCLP, since 2016 MacBook is not supported.
When I says "works fine", it is limited by the 2-core processor. This is most noticeable after system startup or wake from sleep when background processes are working hard. Once these settle down, everything is good - no undue lag. Battery life - much as it always has been.
No different to Monterey.

I have a 2017 12” MacBook with Ventura. Runs just fine. Can’t comment too much on battery, as mine was recently replaced by Apple and only has 3 cycles.
