    urbankyleboy got a reaction from AngryPandaPC in Thread for Linus Tech Tips Video Suggestions   
    I thought it would be a good idea to bring this to your attention. There is a widespread issue with the new 2019 16" MacBook Pro laptops. 
     
    When an external display is connected the laptops get very hot. There is an Apple forum of about 52 pages (as of sending this) of users with the same exact issue. When I contacted Apple they said that it is normal. I've never had a laptop get hot because a single monitor is plugged into it. 
     
    It seems that the issue is with the dGPU. As soon as an external monitor is plugged in, the MacBook switches to the dGPU and the thing gets hot to the touch. This can't be good for the longevity of the machine. Most users need to plug their laptops into a dock with external monitors, so this is a big issue. 
     
    Here is the link to the Apple forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250878229?answerId=252122766022&page=1
     
    Can you please look into making a video about this? It seems like Apple want to sweep this under the rug. 
     
    Thanks and I love your channel!
