Cannot wait for my Intel MBP to be refreshed into an M2 at work. Running Docker turns it into a jet engine. Like having a white noise machine with an unpleasant tone that also generates a ton of heat.
I 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.
Moreso 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.
I love how apple considers my skin part of the cooling solution. If it wasn't for legal limits, they would absolutely just burn people, sell a laptop cooling mat for $100, and tell people they are using laptops wrong.
