videos of the 2020 13" MPB is out, but they are inclined towards the first impression and set up category of content. performance videos may have to wait for perhaps 1 week or over a substantive period

I still recall that 2020 MPA performance videos were released after a week or so and thermal issues were reported :s13:

I am using Chrome. I have also read that many people that doesn't face the thermal and fan issues while using Safari. However, if my i5 MBA cannot handle basic Youtube in Chrome or playing videos (requiring constant 100C and >8000rpm fan speeds), then I am not sure if I should continue using it (perhaps my MBA is a faulty set, or Chrome is the culprit here).

I am using the MBP 16 and I try to avoid chrome too...

even if you can take the noise, the battery drain will be there. No reason to use Chrome.

Always avoid Chrome when using macOS. Up till now google has yet to optimise Chrome for macOS.

You are better off with alternative like FireFox or Edge Chromium. Best experience with Safari.

for those that need Chrome, just use a tab suspender addon. it will greatly improve e experience with Chrome when multiple tabs r opened.

Will Apple check that you are a student during delivery if I placed my order on the education store?

Gone leave this thread now guys.

After much contemplation, I just placed an order for the morning refurb baseline 16” model.

From what I’ve read on reddit and macrumour forums, the user experience on the 13” 2020 will be solid.

See ya guys in the 14” thread!(when it comes)

Sounds like a good choice. $240 cheaper than the brand new education price.

Why did you decide on the 16”?

give it a go for a few mths and see. features wise its richer than the 13" with the only pain point being the additional weight.

we shall see how it goes over the next few mths, i took a calculated risk to "lose" some $$ if the 14" comes out and i decide i want that
