For comparison, my 2012 15″ with 16GB consumes 2.67 to run and when running the same exact applications and tabs 6.14. I don’t know if they’ve done some memory optimization similar to iOS or what but this system is much more efficient and I can see now why 16GB as a limit might not be a big deal. Amazingly even with 8GB of ram in this it doesn’t seem to use nearly as much as my 2012 15″, memory clean says the system uses 1.96 and even with 6 apps open and a bunch of tabs in safari, it’s consuming 4.29. After setup, from when you open the lid it’s less than 10 seconds, actually about 7. It is very weird to have no startup chime, but even this base model boots so damned fast the chime is almost as long as the boot. Picked up the base 13″ yesterday just to play around with it while I await the 15″ to arrive.
#POWER CHIME MACBOOK PRO DISABLE MAC#
Thanks to SSDs, Macs start up so quickly now, you’ll forget if you Shut Down your Mac or just put it to sleep last time. It’ll be nice to not disturb people with the startup chime. MacDailyNews Take: The end of an era, but also the beginning of a new one. It would be annoying to open the lid in a meeting to have it make the noise of its own accord.” “This new feature rationalizes the decision to remove the startup chime, as it means the MacBooks turn on automatically and silently. If they are fully switched off, opening the laptop will automatically turn them on, removing the need to press the power button,” Mayo reports. Current MacBooks wake when the lid is opened if they are sleeping but the new machines go one step further. “The late-2016 laptops actually turn themselves on when you open the lid. “However, there seems to be a good reason for this change.” “The new MacBooks end this tradition as the chime has been removed completely and the machines will make no noise at all on boot, unless there is a fault,” Mayo reports. “This is the distinctive noise heard at startup when the Mac passes the initial POST checks Apple has used the same F-sharp chord sound in its computers since 1998.” “The new MacBook Pros lack the iconic Mac chime when booting up,” Benjamin Mayo reports for 9to5Mac.
