Didn't realize you were an computer hardware engineer

luckily no, just a mechanical engineer with a masters degree, as i stated we will see after it releases.

Oh wait, nobody who doesn't work for Apple has done that. 

 

i loved it when my MacBook "Pro"2016 15 inches began going over 101C in a normal use case scenario. 

 

instead of fanboying over something or attacking people's credential, wait and see, i was talking from Apples history of not cooling things properly, Cook went one step further releasing a thermal throttling mess.

I still won't believe this until you make a video on it or something. 

 

Normal usage will not result in above 100 Degree C operation. Period.

returned it, i really don't care what you believe.

"normal" usage will depend on the person, for some, it's Facebook for other it's much more.

All I want to see is LMG Studios drop one.

If you want to define normal usage as encoding multi layer video, sure, but that is not normal usage on any planet.

Well clearly you do otherwise you wouldn't bother with making testimony about its thermal performance under "normal usage." (which is still yet to be defined by you)

 playing a 4k video in the background, a bunch of Reddit tabs open, i usually have 50 tabs, few cad files, few Revit files, it's a computer that costs more than 3k, no excuses will be given for the bad performance. 

 

this argument is going nowhere, i will end it.

Who also wants a Drop it Compilation?

Two tasks that consume CPU power and result in increased thermal output. Wonders why it got hot* 

 

Also its not an argument. I'm not saying that your Mac didn't get to 101C. But I am saying that they do not hit 101C while being used for normal things like word processing, browsing the web, music listing, and YouTube vids in picture-in-picture, and keeping a few applications in the background. Thats a fact. 

 

Throwing everything at it isn't normal usage. That is opinion but it is the opinion of the majority.

yup, people buy 3k "pro" computer for that reason.

just an FYI saying how much something costs does not imply that it should have value or performance. This is Apple, take the price complaints and cry Apple a river. When you make a product that people will buy, you aren't beholden to making prices reasonable. Thats capitalism. 

 

3,000 is just a number. If you don't like the product that was delivered for the price, return it or don't buy it. Which is what you did.

i agree with your comment except for one thing.

i got more value out of my late 2013 maxed out mac book pro 15 inches than what it's worth, in my personal opinion 3k for that laptop was a fair price point for the amount of attention to detail and a product that delivered something that will last you a while without any major issues.

 

just a few things change thermal paste and clean out the dust every few years.
