Man, the heating on my MacBook is insane. I have a Thinkpad with on board Nvidia card, beefy CPU, etc, and it can play gfx intense games at 4k and still sit in my lap comfortably.
Meanwhile my MacBook from work gets risking-burns-hot from just screensharing on a Zoom call.
- lostlogin 4y agoIs this an arm MacBook? It sounds a lot like an Intel one.
- smoldesu 4y agoUnfortunately, all Macbooks will get pretty hot running Docker, Apple's fan curves will always let your machine heat up before being audible.
- sharms 4y agoI am not sure how accurate this is - I have run my Macbook M1 in clamshell mode for the past year and have almost never heard the fans, and never even felt heat coming off of it, despite having Docker / JetBrains full IDEs open
- smoldesu 4y agoRunning a local dev environment tends to hit ~75c for me on Apple Silicon, I think across 4 or 5 containers. I've also this same environment on my Thinkpad T460s (with a paltry i7 6600u), which settles out around 45-50c.
