Good performance, good portability, good thermals. Pick 2. It’s that simple, you can’t have all 3 no matter how much money you throw at the problem.

Good performance, good portability, good thermals. Pick 2. It’s that simple, you can’t have all 3 no matter how much money you throw at the problem.
- PureParadigm 7y agoWhy would that have to be the case? Also, wouldn't performance and thermals go together? You won't get good performance if you're constantly overheating.
- tmarsden 7y agoThat’s just how physics work. Here are some examples. Good performance and good thermals: it’s going to be a thick laptop (or a desktop) with good airflow, portability will suffer. Good thermals and good portability: you’ll end up with something like an IPad Pro or a surface. performance will be lackluster. Good performance and good portability: The thermal solution will be sub par because it’s designed too thin, light, etc. This is basically what we have here with these specced out 16 MacBooks.

- tmarsden 7y agoNot exactly great performance. The multi core score puts it on par with an Intel Core i5-8400.
