It’s not quite the mythical midrange “ xMac” workstation of yore, but it’s as close as we’ve ever gotten. It’s both a glimpse at what is possible now that Apple is leaving the Intel era behind, and yet another recommitment to the Mac as a powerful and flexible platform for getting work done. It borrows elements of the Mac Pro and the Mac mini, but it replaces neither. The Studio reminds me of a few Macs we’ve seen before-it’s sort of a trashcan Mac Pro by way of the PowerMac G4 Cube. And now we've gotten to the Mac Studio, the first totally new Apple Silicon Mac.
The 24-inch iMac and 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros were throwbacks to the colorful G3 iMacs and titanium PowerBooks from two decades ago. The MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini all looked and felt exactly like the Macs they replaced, just with better performance and much better battery life.
If it’s somewhere near the maximum amount of RAM installed on your machine, that might explain any system slowdowns or crashes you’ve been experiencing.Update: Our chart calculating processor power efficiency has been updated to be more readable and accurate.Īpple Silicon Macs have gotten more interesting the deeper into the transition we've gotten. (A computer’s RAM, or Random Access Memory, stores information.) Keep your eye on the Memory Used entry down at the bottom of your window-this shows how much RAM macOS is currently eating up. Switch to the Memory tab, and you’ll find similar readings, but this time for RAM. The bottom of this tab will show you the overall CPU usage with a constantly updating graph. (CPU stands for Central Processing Unit this component acts as the brains of the computer and performs most of its calculations.) You’ll see all open programs in the column on the left, along with the percentage of processor time they’re currently taking up. The first tab, CPU, shows how much processing power each running program requires. These screens are actually pretty simple to navigate. Within Activity Monitor, you’ll see a barrage of constantly changing numbers and app names, but don’t panic.
