Hi!
I just bought my first "real" Apple device (apart from my iPhone): A Retina MacBook Pro (late '13).
Coming from Windows it's kinda of a rough switch. But I really like it so far. And with our best friend, google, I could help myself with every little problem so far.
To one question I just couln't find a satisfying answer. But I'm sure someone in this forum can help me out...
As the title states, it's about the RAM usage. I attached a screenshot where you can see the Activity Monitor while no program is opened. So my question is quite simple: why is OS X currently using so much RAM? I can't believe it's just because of the background processes...
So maybe someone could give me a short summary on how OS X handles memory.. or might there even be a problem?
Thanks for any advice!
PS: since I am new to this world, any useful tips (on whatever) will be very welcome
