Re: VMware with MacBook 2015

Depending on what you’re running on the Mac side. Just understand the more cores you assign to the VM the less power the Mac side will share in. In effect you’re just prioritizing the scheduling of your VM higher than the native Mac side. You can always reduce the core count if you run in to

Re: VMware with MacBook 2015

Ah, thank you, Scott, this is more than I could have wished. Just finally to run it past you as you seem to be an expert here (:)), would it be ok for me to assign four cores to my virtual machine? At present I have set it to two cores but I'd be happier with more. Best wishes Andrew > On 25

Re: VMware with MacBook 2015

Hi Andrew, this is a 2 core model. The 13 inch models use 2 core processors and the 15 inch use 4. I looked up your specific laptop line and here is a link that will tell you more than you want to know.

Re: VMware with MacBook 2015

Hi Scott, This is so generous of you: thank you for such a detailed explanation. I've looked under "about this mac' menu item, and I can see that my macbook pro May 2014 has 3GHz intel i7 processor but it doesn't tell me how many physical cores it has; consequently, I don't know whether it has

Hi Andrew, I think this is on topic since we’re talking about the use of a set of applications on the Mac, Mark or Kara can speak up if not but I think we’re well with in safe territory for the subject and it’s a great question. Threading is just a fancy computer word for scheduling. Threads

Re: VMware with MacBook 2015

Yes, it is normal because if you choose a language that uses different script to Latin, the shortcut keys that require Latin letters like for instance vo+m will not work. I have the same issue in Greek because of its different lettering that is different from Latin alphabet. So you need to

Hello: ok, but if i choose any other language other than English, some system short cuts like Vo+M are not working, is it usual? Thanks > On Oct 25, 2016, at 10:22 AM, Andrew Lamanche wrote: > > can I just ask a quick somewhat off-topic question regarding the cores > assigned

Re: VMware with MacBook 2015

can I just ask a quick somewhat off-topic question regarding the cores assigned to the virtual machine? I have a macbook pro 13 inch 2014 with 16GB RAM and I7 processor. Does this mean I could assign easily 4 cores to Windows in VMWare Fusion? I've always had a bit of trouble understanding

Re: VMware with MacBook 2015

Hi there, one thing you can do is make sure you have enough cores dedicated. On a 13 inch MacBook pro I’d probably go 4 GB for the VM and at least 2 cores for the CPU. Remember it’s 2 cores in software per every real core do to hyper threading. If you have the I5 processor then you have 2
