MBPs are really thick and burdensome

• rowanG077 2y ago
  Unless there is a cooling revolution there really is no other way. Even now the MBP throttles. Not something that should be acceptable in a pro device.

  Yes, that's why 15" Air is my next laptop. Trouble is they reduced the screen size and resolution while going from 15 to 16 they did not improve resolution. So you are effectively buying 14" resolution.

    Have you considered a Mac mini with a 4k OLED portable screen + a high quality keyboard and mouse? It's far more ergonomic. The only issue is it's a bit of hassle to pull out for a few minutes at a cafe. But for those times a tablet might be more than enough anyway. I know this setup wouldn't work for everyone but I've been waiting years for mini computers to get this powerful.

      I'm intrigued by the idea of using this in a cafe. Is there a way to run this setup from a battery or would it need a power socket? Could you recommend any portable 4k screens?

        > Is there a way to run this setup from a battery or would it need a power socket? Well, I'm sure there is some way. The power draw would be low enough to run off a battery. But realistically it would be much easier to just plug in every time. > Could you recommend any portable 4k screens? No, sorry. I have a 16" 2k portable UPerfect screen which, while not the best screen I've ever used, is very decent for the price, since it was only about $120. But if you're willing to spend considerably more I'm sure you can get much better.
