You have what many would consider the last 'good' mbp. After that one, Apple pushed to make them thinner and try to make them faster, but really went too far with the thermal envelop. It's 100% Apple's fault for the thinness, but Intel didn't do them any favors with their delays either.
- eru 6y agoInteresting! I had a newer MBP for work at a recent job. I liked it well enough, and it was faster (just thanks to newer processors).
- brandall10 6y agoI had a 2008 15" MBP, the original retina 15", and currently have a work issued 16" i9. The 16" gets toasty, but those first two could get scalding hot. And I was concerned about that as I only had 13" in the intervening years, but the 16" is nothing like those at all. Never once had a situation where it was so hot that I had to remove it from my lap but regularly had those situations with the others. And I'm pushing it super hard, it rarely gets better than 3-4 hours on a charge. I don't think people are remembering just how bad those earlier MBPs were.
- matwood 6y agoInteresting. I have a 2015, 2017 mbp and m1 MBA sitting here. The 2017 is the worst of the bunch in terms of fan noise and heat. It is faster than the 2015, and both are 15". I don't have a 16", so maybe they fixed some of the issues on that one.
