To be honest I’d buy a hypothetical fanless “MacBook Air Plus” with a modest M2 if only it supported 64 GB RAM. M1 is already significantly better than my 2019 16” MBP, and I’d much prefer the MBA’s thermals.
- batmanthehorse 5y agoYeah, I was eagerly waiting for the new MBP but ended up returning it (unopened) because I was disappointed that its 10% heavier than the last model. I think my ideal would be a thin, fanless 16 inch with 32GB RAM. I'm fine with some power throttling under sustained load, but I understand why they filled the new Pros with big fans to avoid that.
- KptMarchewa 5y agoAnd I'm absolutely not fine with it. I've only bought new one because they finally treated constant thermal issues seriously.

Pn50 in akasa A50 case...8 core zen2, 64gb, passive cooling, 3TB storage fits under couch. Can't quite compete with the guys running full rack home servers but in terms of self hosting it can do pretty much everything I need (big gotcha is not RAID friendly)
- eyelidlessness 5y agoThat’s cool (hopefully literally) but I’m definitely thinking of my daily driver semi-portable desktop and I’m definitely very much sticking with macOS.
