How is this not on Apple? Surely a company with the resources that Apple does could and should have done more than just throw a new processor in the chassis and ship it. Instead, they went with the laziest approach and advertise the new specs knowing that they can't reasonably be achieved consistently.
Frankly, this feels like false advertising to me. If I'm going to drop $3k on a MacBook with a Core-i9 chip that flies, I better get what I paid for. And clearly people aren't.
They should've redesigned the chassis to address this, but instead they got caught shipping a subpar product. So "brave"...
- j-c-hewitt 8y agoI guess that's really the issue then. If you're familiar with the properties of these processors then you will not be surprised about the thermal complaints. If you aren't then you will be surprised. No it's not worth $3000 but it's also not possible to get the most out of that chip in any environment without a physically large cooling system. I think people who buy it because they want to be the kind of person who buys a $3000 laptop will be happy with it. The kind of person who wants $3000 performance would be better off buying something that isn't a laptop.
