I've had my 16" MBP for more than a year now and I've constantly had this problem: when typing, every few words, the computer will freeze for a split second. This leads to inadvertent typos as I think I made a mistake when I didn't. The same happens in Safari when clicking on Favorites: I will click, the computer will freeze for 4-5 seconds, after which the clicked item will load. It also happens when scrolling and doing all sorts of things related to the GUI.
All in all in terms of user experience, I get far more responsive typing on a Commodore 64. Unfortunately however, I currently can't afford a Commodore because I've spent all my money on this Mac. Until I can finally afford a computer that doesn't lag constantly, I have to find a workaround.
Maybe 32GB of RAM, an i9 with an 8GB GPU wasn't enough, but after saving up for 5 years this was all I could afford.
Integrated GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630
Discreet GPU: AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB
If I turn off "Automatics graphics switching", then the problem immediately goes away. It only happens when the computer is using the integrated GPU. It seems the integrated GPU just can't handle the extremely power-intensive task of typing on a keyboard.
I've been running it on the discreet GPU for the past year but it gets extremely hot and loud, and will only last a few hours on battery so it is functionally a desktop computer.
I have the latest macOS and updates, but no updates have helped with the issue so far, but it's been a year so I'm guessing it's being ignored.
Anyone with a solution or tips?
