4x Thunderbolt 3 puts all the ports on the 2015 MBP to shame ?

or a bad thing, MacBooks went from Pro machines to facebook machines in 1 generation. 

How'd they go from pro to Facebook in one generation? They just got more expensive and an emoji bar

She's a thicker machine with a serious focus on cooling to gaming sessions. 

 

The MacBook Pro was not designed for that. I would not find it hard to believing that it would be cooler.

only usb type c in the pro market no one uses type c yet, touch bar makes it harder to use touch bar, windows on the new MacBook sucks( so many glitches), battery life is less and gets hotter.

Sure "a bunch of dongles"

Dude, what did Apple do to you to make you hate the 2016 MBP so much? They are good computers, calling them FaceBook machines are not going to stop their sales from going up.

Though the 2016 MacBook can handle 1080p in FCP X....

The base MacBook Pro has no issues rendering large 1080p projects in Premier! I can't imagine what it would be like in FinalCut

this is getting out of control, OP i suggest a thinkpad.

Notice how I never said you hated Apple, I said you hated the 2016 MacBook Pro.

 

Also the bottom picture is intentionally bull

The MacBook Pro was not designed for that. I would not find it hard to believing that it would be cooler. 

Then why would they put a discrete graphics card and a high TDP CPU in the laptop, knowing darn well that the chassis and the cooling system could not handle it?

 

I understand it wasn't made for gaming, but rather for general tasks, like web browsing, and my wife's 2015 MBP with the M370X gets warm while even doing that.

because they are so good, apple took a good laptop and make it into a really bad joke.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you have to use discrete graphics only while using Windows on a Macbook?

there is a way to change it, all it takes is a small tweak.

It can handle it. 

 

Does the machine shut down because of thermal instability? As BS as that sounds unless it does that the computer is not overheating. 

 

The Machine becomes warm because the logic board is set to ramp up the fans only when it needs to. It will run as quietly and as passively as possible before turning the fans up.

Yes you do, that is why the 15" 2016 machines have less than stellar Battery life inside Windows

 

On MacOS it graphics switches.

yes it is, its throttling down to keep it from killing itself, FYI temps can reach over 100C

Ok. Thinkpad or xps 13

Is not overheating. 

 

A machine only overheats if the temperature exceeds the "TJMAX" of the CPU.

hard choice, i love the build and service of thinkpad and the design of the xps 13. for long term use go for the thinkpad but xps is really good if you like design.

throttling= overheating, poor thermal design.

It hasn't even shut down as far as I know, as all she does is web browsing.  It's not BS, I've used it before, and it gets warm while simply using Safari, which is sad, because MacOS was supposed to be light and easy to run. 

 

Don't accuse me of lying.  I'm a lawyer, for God's sake, I have a degree in presenting only the truth and nothing but the truth.

 

The fans turn on every now and then while doing basic tasks.  It's warm most of the time I have used it, only sometimes does the fan turn on to cool it down.

Wrong

 

The CPU will lower back the clock speed to prevent itself from overheating. 

 

How can the machine be overheating if it is throttling down to prevent itself from overheating?

I was not saying your claim that it got hot was bs. Nor did I accuse you of lying. 

 

Keep studying!

TBH that's kind of sad.
