The rest of the time it runs at a steady 20% of my i7 CPU power (for one VM view). Shorts is definitely a no-go with Remote Desktop 10, when the problem occurs. While on mains power it is of course less of a problem, but be prepared to wear thick pants due to the excessive level of heat radiating from the bottom of the MacBook when using the program. But the effect is that the program is not reliable as a professional tool while on battery. What could possibly take that excessive amount of CPU power, when the program is seemingly doing "nothing"? Probably it is just some unfortunate bug. Even when I close ALL VM view windows, the CPU is spinning like a maniac (>100% CPU) and the activity monitor is clearly accusing Remote Desktop 10 of being the black sheep every time. I also tried to turn off the little thumbnail previews, but that did not help. I have played around with screen resolutions trying to avoid any potential computations from real-time scaling the image feed, but to no avail. Adding functionality for groups of VMs is brilliant and much appreciated for my use cases, since I tend to have quite a few VMs for various purposes.Ģ) CPU utilisation is often 100-160% and the computer gets really hot. This review is based on my experience from running version "Version 10.1.6 (910)" of Remote Desktop for Mac OS X daily during a couple of weeks on a "MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) 3.3 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3 High Sierra version 10.13.3 (17D102)".ġ) I really like the new GUI. Nice new GUI, but randomly(?) consumes ridiculous amounts of energy
