As for 1, I live in a country where the summers are hot and humid, and even indoors with modest air conditioning running, the 2019 i9 16" would overheat and throttle pretty much right away with my basic dev workflow. I had stupid rigs with fans pointing at the machine just to get my work done. With the 16" Pro Max, I can work flat-out, outdoors in the heat, no problem whatsoever. The thermals and performance on this thing are amazing.
