The M2 chip, like any modern SoC, can easily heat up enough to burn skin under powerful workloads.
"The power of a Mac" is misleading; does this mean a Macbook Air (constrained cooling means a tighter thermal, and thus performance, envelope), a Macbook Pro (better cooling = better performance), or a Mac Mini (best cooling = best performance)?
Given the facial proximity and battery, I expect we'll never see that M2 at full power.
- rowanG077 3y agoThe macbook air has no active cooling. I would expect this machine to have better thermals.
- KaiserPro 3y ago> "The power of a Mac" is misleading yes, its marketing fluff. at best its an ipad, at worst an iphone. There is no way that you can practically dissipate 35watts of heat, especially as there is only 35whour of power in the battery.
- solardev 3y agoMaybe they expect the user to provide active cooling by constantly blowing cold air upward.
