yea an i9 at 3.0 ghz,(reply>), Glenn John <br><br>"It has 2 huge fans inside it for making the graphics card and the chips ice cold. I own a 2017 MacBook Pro, during editing 4K videos, it is pretty cold. It’s because of it’s metal body. But gaming makes it fairly warm. Use boot camp for high gaming performance with not so much heat. The fans got more improvements with the 2018 model. Apple knows that they are doing."<br><br>First off, they're not <b>huge fans.</b> They're <b>extremely small</b> and the heat pipes are extremely thin (look at other gaming laptops to see how big their fans and heat pipes are). And yes, you won't feel the heat because of how it's constructed, but we're talking about <b>internal</b> temperature, not the external temperature you'll feel when you rest your palms on the laptop.<br><br>If you watch Dave2D's review about the i9 model, the thermal throttling is so bad the CPU can't even run at <b>base</b> clockspeeds, and he has to put the laptop inside the freezer just to see some improvements compared to the i7 model.<br><br>So no, Apple doesn't know how what they're doing. They slapped an i9, which other laptop manufacturers have issues cooling it despite having thick fans and heat pipes, into a thin form factor.,(reply>), DaUHardcoreCraft not really. My friend got the top model 15 inch. He edited 4K videos, while rendering, there was no heat up or thermal throttle,(reply>), I can describe the macbook in two words: Theram trottling!,(reply>), It can, just turbo boost it with a shitty software. Or just overclock it. Beware, your Mac is gonna be warm as a Indian fish curry,(reply>), I would find it hard to believe to see a 4.8ghz laptop that has many cores. Rip battery usage and rip thermals.
