I've had thermal throttling issues with my 16" since I've gotten it, and it's only gotten worse. I had to do a downgrade to Catalina to even be able to use it. It's so funny that a $4.3k machine can't even run Zoom or Meet properly. I also had to do a SwitchResX trick + clamshell mode to even be able to dock for a few hours (and it'll overheat again).

I play an occasional Dota 2 match, that my 2014 13" handled without any issues, while my 16" just shuts itself down because of overheating (even while not docked, because of dGPU usage). I don't care if it's an AMD issue, then the GPUs shouldn't be in their machine.

MacBooks used to be so good, and just work. Now not so much. I'll think twice before buying anything Apple (computer-wise) ever again.

Specs: 2,3Ghz 8-core i9, 64GB RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8GB

I have a MacBook Pro with the same specs. $4000 machine that runs hot with loud fans when I connect an external 4K monitor. It’s annoying af.
