The heat and noise was what led me to sell my 16" MBP in favour of a 13" Air. I was working from home the whole time I owned it and my partner could often hear it from a different room.
No idea how anyone works in an office with one of those things without irritating the hell out of their coworkers.

- wildrhythms 5y agoI can assure you the 16-inch Intel MBP is loud enough to draw attention in any open-air office space. Pre-COVID WFH life, I would have to close out my IDE, browser tabs, Photoshop, everything when I had to go into a meeting room because it was embarrassing to hear that laptop whirr its fans. Now I have an M1 for personal use, no fan, heat issues gone. Can't wait to ditch the 16-inch Intel for work, I will accept the smaller screen size.
