Couldn't the Pro just turn on its fans after 8-9 minutes (to avoid throttling), thus giving the best of both worlds?

- molszanski 6y agoBest of both of worlds is: - active cooling - lack of a touchbar
- grovellogic 6y agoI've been wondering if someone could make an active cooling dock for the Mac Book Air. I was even thinking the M1 wattage is low enough that you could have a thermoelectric cooler lowering case temp down to room temp.

- Siira 6y agoThe touchbar is pretty great if you program it yourself using, e.g., BetterTouchTool. I especially love the clipboard widget - works fantastic with VIM/EVIL.
- xenonite 6y agoThat would be the Mac Mini. But seriously, I share your opinion on laptop keyboards: regular function keys please.
- ashtonkem 6y agoThat's exactly what it does. But 8-9 minutes of full 100% CPU is a relatively rare occurrence for the vast majority of users. Developers might occasionally do that, but it will be very language and project dependent.
- rsynnott 6y agoI assume it does. My 13" 2016 MBP doesn't turn on its fans much unless it's busy.
