I have a fairly new MacBook Pro (couple months old) and lately I've noticed the battery begins draining immensely when out and about after I leave home, which is pretty much the only time it's away from it's charging dock. Sometime later on in the day when I pull out my computer from my bag, it's quite warm and there's processes running like crazy. Take a look below at some screen grabs I took shortly after opening my MacBook Pro for the first time one day:
Temperatures reach about 150 degrees and stay there indefinitely despite maybe only a few apps open, most of which are fairly light. Memory consumption also is quite high given the aforementioned use case as well as raw processing power.
I'm IT/CS so feel free to talk nerdy to me, I just wish I knew more about Mac and Unix to know what all is happening here. This community has always been quite helpful and knowledgeable with stuff like this so I wanted to run it by you guys first. Let me know your thoughts (even if it's dumb user error!). I may be in the industry but I still don't know everything there is to know
Thanks!
