Just a month ago, I bought a brand-new MBA M3 and it's continually overheating to the point where it throttles to a pedestrian rate. It's near impossible to use.
I use Figma, a lot of Google Meet conversations and it regularly slows to a crawl whereby it's almost impossible to use the laptop. You literally have to try and close the tabs on the browser with a jerky cursor and pray it recovers.
The temperatures reach highs of over 100C and now that its summer (my room is about 30C), it's near impossible to use.
My previous laptop was a MBP M1 and I never had such issues with it. Even my MBA M1 was absolutely fine and never really had this lag, but this M3 is absurd and just terrible. It's my worst MacBook ever.
Does anyone else have the same issues, and how can Apple allow this to happen? To suggest it's only for "light consumer use" is total B$!
