Is there a reason you are using Daedalus? If you don’t care about full node wallet, i would suggest you to use a litewallet like Typhon and simply restore your wallet there.
Did you get Macbook Air M3 with 16GB of RAM? Many Macbook Air M3 versions come with only 8GB of RAM and small SSD (256GB). Not enough to run a full node wallet.
Also, are you sure you need full node wallet instead of just a regular wallet?
From what info you posted the issues could be anything. Bad internet connection, not enough RAM, not enough storage, other apps running in the background, etc…
If you need to access your Ada quickly you can use multiple wallets apps for the same wallet. For example I have a wallet that I access with both Daedalus and Yoroi.
