    Thermals on M2 Max worse compared to M1 Max?

    Hi all, I was using a M1 Max 10-core CPU 32-core GPU 32 GByte RAM 1 TByte model since its release back in 2021. As the RAM and storage have been my most limiting components (not performance!), I decided to upgrade to a refurbished M2 Max 12-core CPU 38-core GPU 96 GByte RAM 8 TByte model. As I...

    MacBook Air 2020 - thermal pad, great results

    This is my first time posting here, but I've been a longtime Mac user and hardware enthusiast. I bought the 2020 MacBook Air as I was curious about the ice lake chips and keen to see if a MacBook Air could satisfy me for travelling about. But as I feared, thermal solution meant that trying to...
