I’ve been using a 16” MBP (i9) since it came out and man do I miss my old 2015 MBP. This 16” one cannot take a single 4K monitor plugged in! The fans go nuts and then things start hanging. And this is not a one-off, I’ve seen hundreds of reports online and also know my friends facing the same issue. It’s mind boggling how a machine this expensive has such major issues.
- snuxoll 6y agoHm, I have a 2018 15” from work and the 2019 16” I mentioned for personal use and neither have issues hooked up to my HP U28. That said I’ll probably trade this in this with an arm model in a year or two after the ecosystem has had time to catch up, but I’m happy to have the Intel model for now.
- vimy 6y agoThe fans are much quieter if you plug the power on the right side.
- noahtallen 6y agoMy 2018 15” and 2019 16” could both handle two 4K monitors without turning on fans. And the 2018 model did have thermal issues in the summer, but not related to the basics like browsing. So far the 2019 model is much better. I don’t think yours is a common experience, though it sucks that it’s happening.
- philistine 6y agoI know it doesn’t solve your problem, but while my new M1 Air can only support one monitor, it doesn’t even have a fan. It’s super nice.
