It's an i7-9750H... it should handle Evernote just fine. I can run multiple virtual systems in VMware Workstation without a problem. I opened Evernote on the machine twenty minutes ago, so it should be well finished with syncing and any processing and it's currently using 4.7-5% CPU and constant disk usage (and over a GB of RAM, too). It would be nice had they included the activity log in this version like the old one. I'm not going to reinstall. I'll just use the web app until I can figure out a migration plan to something else. I've used Evernote since before the elephant... when it was a never-ending roll of notes that came with a Wacom tablet in like 2004 or 2005. Been a premium paid user since 2008. And you can all say what you want, but this is not like the "good old days" anymore. This is just one of many issues - collapsing notebook stacks don't work correctly when moving a note in iOS, sending emails to my Evernote address sometimes don't get put in the inbox for hours and sometimes days, the cost, and hey a note in my inbox just disappeared - in the reading pane and says Note unavailable. For what it's worth, my desktop chews CPU and disk just like the laptop does. Not as big of an issue since it doesn't run on battery. So if something is corrupt, it's my account, not the install. And with their support these days I'll NEVER get that resolved. So I'm going to unfollow this thread and move on and you can all say what you will about the Evernote non-believer. I'm going to bail like so many others have.

It’s been installed for weeks and had plenty of time to get situated. The problem is the battery usage. By constantly running like this it’s using way too much battery. Over both one day a one week reports, over 10%. I brought this to support long ago and they said they were aware and were working to resolve the problem and obviously never did. They also claimed that they were working on adding features to the new client that had not yet made it from the old. Most of that never happened either.

That’s not true. Plenty of apps don’t constantly use resources and drain the battery like this. Even the nightmare of Microsoft Teams doesn’t do this. And the legacy client didn’t do this either.

I ignored updating from the legacy client for forever because it constantly used CPU and disk. I was forced to upgrade when the legacy client told me it wouldn't sync anymore. So here I am with this terrible new app and it's still using CPU and disk all the effing time. Evernote uses 10% of my laptops battery while it just sits in the background. This is unacceptable. Is there a setting I'm not seeing that would resolve this? I've seen lots of posts about high CPU usage, sluggishness, spikes in CPU, etc., but not the constant 3% CPU usage and a few percent disk usage. I've submitted a support request but Evernote pays no attention to those and tells me to basically get lost they'll fix it if they want to fix it for every bug and issue I run into. Is my only course of action to migrate to a new product? I haven't found one that I like but I assume that's what I'll have to do.
