Hi Friends,
I have 2017 MacBook Air. I'm using a 2010 iMac 27" in Target Display Mode as an extra monitor.
I can't find this answer anywhere else online but I'm wondering if running the extra monitor in Target Display Mode uses extra CPU power from the MacBook.
I'm sometimes struggling to get enough power out of the MacBook (I know I shouldn't expect too much) and wondering if I'm over-taxing it by asking it to run an external display or if it makes no real difference.
I don't know, for example, if Target Display Mode uses the iMac's GPU or the MacBooks.
Any information would greatly help! Thanks, all.
