Hi!

So the title says about everything :p

In my home network, I have a Mac Pro Yosemite (if need be I guess I could upgrade this one, fingers crossed) plugged through an ethernet cable to the router and a MacBook Pro El Capitan on Wifi. I've been injured with long-term recovery and going to the living room to use the Mac Pro is a bad trip.

I need the computational muscle of the Mac Pro from the comfortability of the MacBook. I've been researching best options (VNC, TeamViewer, LogMeIn, AnyDesk, Mac's own screen sharing etc.) but none of them seem to talk about "fluidity" of the connection/experience.

My computers are on the same network and I won't be playing games in the Mac Pro. So I would think there's more than enough bandwidth for what I want to accomplish. But Mac's own screen sharing hasn't been a great experience.

What software are my best shot at teleworking without feeling mouse sluggishness (is that a word?) and other lagging issues?

Thanks, guys!


EDIT: I just realized that the heavy calculation is inside Parallel's Windows 7 VM, in said Mac Pro. So I think I should do MacBook --> Windows 7 (Mac Pro). Best approach?
