You’ve probably already heard about this, but there has been a large discussion about how charging from the traditional left side of 15” (and I believe 16”) MBPs results in heat and fan issues. A lot of people have had improved results just by switching power to the right.

Co-workers on the previous gen 15" pros also don't find this to actually be a solution. The issue is that Macbooks aren't a great investment for Apple, as the make more money in every other department, without anywhere near the upfront costs.
