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
