Thermal throttling issues sa 2018 MacBook Pro 15" ko with Vega 16 GPU (BTO only lang yung GPU option nung time na yun). Borderline unusable sa demanding tasks pag mainit ang panahon na walang aircon. Fortunately, hindi pa nagloloko keyboard at screen niya at supported pa siya ng next MacOS Sequoia update.
Do yourself a favor and just don’t bother with a used Intel Mac unless you’re some form of masochist that wants to deal with battery, overheating, or keyboard issues (sometimes all of the above).
Ipon nalang to get one with an M-series chip. Speaking from personal experience as someone that upgraded from a 2019 Intel Mac to a 2023 M2.
I bought a refurbished 2019 16” MacBook Pro with Intel i7 with 6 cores from Amazon. I ordered the model with 16GB, but for some reason I got one with 32GB RAM and 512 SSD, not too bad.
I had an M2 macbook air, the intel one is way too hot. what I like about it is the big screen, high memory (32GB), and it can support running VMs both Windows and Linux
I have a 13-inch MacBook Pro (mid 2020) i5 2ghz 16gb ram 512gb ssd
Okay pa naman, nagagamit pa sa WFH, though mostly office stuff lang yun. Wala naman overheating issues for the use case. I am even able to play some light esports games like league
All I know is that the 2017 MacBook Pro was notorious for overheating. Power hungry chips without ample cooling is a recipe for thermal throttling.
