How to monitor resources on Macbook Pro?

erikfig · Feb 6, 2012

Hey guys,

Another newbie question. Is there's any app or widget that I can use to monitor my system resources like CPU and memory usage?

Thanks.

Activity Monitor, it's built in under Applications > Utilities

As others mentioned, Activity Monitor is very handy. However, if you're like me and you like some at-a-glance information, check out iStat Menus.

If you installed it , it will be in System Preferences. Turn it on there.
