I mean, the M1 chip in my Macbook Pro runs absolute circles around the Intel one that I had in the previous generation, and they were released within a year of each other, so... I honestly do not know what you're talking about.
- happymellon 3y agoThat's not a high bar. I'm still stuck on the 2019 MacBook Pro for work, and it is significantly slower and hotter than my ThinkPad with Linux that I use for hobby programming. Whenever I open IntelliJ on it I can feel the temperature of the room increase. The Intel Macs were terrible for many years.

- happymellon 3y agoMoreso than the noise, the touchbar at the back can become too hot to touch and the plastic strip around the screen, where MacBook Pro is printed, is bubbling and peeling away with the heat.

- lbourdages 3y agoI went from a Core i9 to an M1 Max and it's been a world of difference. Performance is great, it runs my dual 4K screens with scaling (3008x1692, virtual resolution 6016x3384) without a sweat, and the battery lasts forever.
