I’m running a stock (but fully-loaded) MacBook Pro: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB My monitor is a Seiki 39” 4k monitor. It’s plugged into the HTMI port on the MBP. I usually keep the laptop closed. I currently have 14 desktops with maybe 30 browser windows open in Chrome and ~60 tabs open; 20 Safari windows open with ~30 tabs open; and several other apps I keep open as well. Chrome has a lot of memory problems, for sure. It slows the entire system down after a while, and I’ve noticed that the more windows on a given desktop, the slower things run. Swithcing to a desktop with fewer browser windows open on it clearly improves performance. -David "The Tool Wiz" Schwartz > On Jun 23, 2016, at 6:29 AM, Keith Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hardware specs are in order after seeing 3-48's.
