You can use the top command to monitor the resources of your Macbook in real-time. The top command is a built-in utility that shows the processes that are currently running on the system, along with information about their CPU and memory usage.

To use the top command, open a terminal window and type top. The output will show the list of processes, sorted by their CPU usage, with the most CPU-intensive processes at the top. You can use the q key to exit the top command.

Here are some of the key options you can use with the top command:

• -o: sort the processes by a particular resource, such as CPU usage or memory usage. For example, top -o cpu will sort the processes by CPU usage.
• -s: specify the delay between updates. For example, top -s 2 will update the display every 2 seconds.
• -u: show the process for a particular user. For example, top -u username will show the processes for the user with the specified username.

You can use these options in combination to customize the output of the top command. For example, to monitor the CPU usage of the processes owned by a particular user, you can use the following command:

top -o cpu -s 2 -u username
