hey you mention that the internal of 2 Thunderbolt model of mbp look similiar to the mba, then why do advise to go for the mbp instead of the mba when it cost more? won't it have the same thermal issue if that's the case?

i got until the 9 May to decide whether to return my i5 mba 2020 lol.

touch id is working fine for me. i use brave browser instead of safari and chrome.

The cooling in terms of exhaust and intake is similar. The intake and exhaust are both at the hinge. HOWEVER, the 13inch 2 thunderbolt port has a heatpipe connected to the heatsink. Makes a big difference.

The 4 thunderbolt model intakes air from the slots at the bottom of the chassis and exhausts it at the hinge.

If let’s say you’re happy with your i5 air, you can keep it. There are use cases where the i5 makes sense. $200 is quite substantial in savings. You might not need the additional performance from the pros. If you’d like to know more about the $1,799 pro, check reviews of the 2019 MacBook Pro.

Here’s a comparison of the MacBook Pro 2019 2 thunderbolt (it’s the same as the 2020 2 thunderbolt, except the keyboard and storage had been upgraded). Jump to 7 mins in the video

i'm wondering if apple will pull the same stunt they did last year....release a 15" in and then the 16" in nov.

i am in the market for a new laptop and like you i'm just keeping an eye out on the reviews in the days to come....really wished the rumours were true about the 14"

The rumour about 14” still stand true. It will be a complete redesign along with a new 12” (ARM) and 16”.

what im deciding now is, wait for a refurb 16" to appear or get the 16/512 13"

i need one to tide me till the 14" comes outs. lol.

i do prefer lighter laptops but the 16" refurb is just a smarter purchase at the expense of my shoulders....hmmm

Thinking about this decision as well. My mbp 2014 15" battery died again yesterday (OEM replaced once already :s22:)


Time for a change.

Of cos it’s it’s not “officially” launched yet. Apple sent out the review units as soon as announcement was made.


Are you the “Jon prosser” of HWZ?

Haha.

Just really wondering if the 14” will be out this year...anyone’s guess

For popular YouTubers, they usually have the unit for a week or so before the announcement.
