Aplikasi ini adalah salah satu aplikasi ‘wajib’ buat saya yang pada mulanya, saat upgrade sistem operasi ke El Capitan, aplikasi ini tidak dapat dipergunakan atau not compatible. It makes it tolerable to use on a daily basis as long as I don’t go looking at newer machines.Īnd now, finally for my desktop. MenuMeters 14 Juni 2016 MenuMeters akhirnya dapat berjalan di sistem operasi El Capitan (OS X 10.11, semoga di versi OS selanjutnya juga). There obviously isn’t much that I can do about the fact that my dinosaur has an extremely low-res screen compared to modern-day MacBooks, but it does help that I have the rare 1680x1050 screen that was an option for these machines. As obvious as this is, it makes a huge difference in helping me avoid trips to the wall every couple hours. I have used it for years and you can choose what aspects you want to display, CPU, Memory, Data transfer rate to and from, etc. The last thing I do to conserve power is to kill any apps that I’m not using. I do have MenuMeters installed as well, but I like the detailed information Activity Monitor gives me, and MenuMeters gets resource intensive if I ask it to do too much. If things seem out of whack, I can know about it. In addition to monitoring GPU status, I also monitor CPU status with Activity Monitor. The using only the discrete GPU cuts my battery life firmly in half. This little program sits in my menu bar and tells me if I’m using my integrated graphics or if my discrete GPU is pushing the pixels. I monitor my GPU status using a little app called gfxCarStatus. To help prolong my time without being tethered to a wall, I do a few things. When it comes to battery life, My aging machine will never be as good as the new stuff.
I do a few things to help mitigate these weaknesses. The biggest areas where I suffer with the older machine are battery life and screen resolution. 2011? Really? how do you use a machine that old? well, It’s far from a stock Pro 15 (highest specced CPU and display, upgraded RAM, and SSD), and CPU-wise things have not changed that much since then, and as a broke college student with expensive tastes and a proclivity for tinkering, an older MacBook was a good option for me.
