Similar for me, caved in and bought a M2. It's great and all, gotta say though, not entirely happy with how unbearable the 2019 intel mbp has become. Yeah, it

Yeah, it struggles with YouTube videos and fans are spinning in vacuum cleaner mode. But it didn't in 2019. I feel OS and software updates ruined it. Not what I expect after only about 3 years of use. (obviously it wasn't cheap either)
Oh well, still gave Apple my money, just hope it's a special situation with the chipset transition and not the regular lifespan from now on.
- tambourine_man 4y agoWhat browser are you running? My 2017 Mac runs 4k YouTube videos without a glitch in Safari.

- brailsafe 4y agoI should have articulated that differently. What I meant to say was that the mac I had prior to my first Retina MBP (2013) couldn't run 1080p YT videos well. That model was a 2009 13", if memory serves. So I was just comparing the two transitional periods, whereby my Intel mac feels almost as limited as that 2009 machine did.
- cassianoleal 4y agoIt's worth it being aware that charging those 2019 Intel Macs from the right-hand-side USB-C ports will cause them to overheat and get thermal throttled. Not saying you're doing that or that they are otherwise great machines (they're not) but they can go from being a steak grill back to being a relatively serviceable computer just by switching the charging port.
