hello,

i just bought my first mac few days ago, and i have a question about the physical memory usage,

my mac is macbook pro 13' with retina display and 8 GB, and i think that for some reason my memory usage is significantly high then it should.

when i'm just using safari, i have about 600 MB available (and sometimes even about 200 MB)

is it fine? what is the regular memory usage in the mac?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

A:

The new OSX's will use as much RAM as is available, if possible. No longer is the amount the metric, but 'Pressure'. If if is green, all is well.

Ciao.
