Hi everybody.
It's been a week since my new top of the line MBP 13" 2020 10th gen i7 with 32 gigs of ram and 4TB Hd arrived.
My experience has been mixed. In the first couple of days I had always the fans on while migrating (I have a lot of data both on HD and dropbox, plus a lot of photos in apple servers, plus a lot of mail both in apple mail and in Outlook..., therefore it was quite expected).
Aftwerwards and in the last days, I feel that the machine it's mostly quiet while doing standard stuff like browsing, email and editing word documents. This also if I connect my external 5K LG Ultrafine (latest model) which by the way works perfectly.
However, as soon as I open a video in YouTube, start working on a VM in Parallels or I start doing even easy raw edits in Lightroom (levels, convert to b&w...) the fans quickly ramp up to full speed (over 5.000 rpms) with a noise that frankly I don't like.
It is true that as soon as I stop such activities, the fans quickly turn down to normal and almost inaudible levels.
So my question is: would I have less fan noise with a MBP 16" i9 2,3ghz, 32 gig of RAM, 2TB hd, Radeon 5500m 4Gb which I could get for almost exactly the same price trading my 13" back in to Apple (I'm still in the 14 days period to return the product)?
My use is word, email, navigation and photo editing with 40-50 megabytes raw files. However I'm quite a nervous user, with many browsers windows open, I like to keep a parallels VM with windows 10 pro open, etc. etc.
I had chosen the 13" because I really don't care for video editing and 3d graphics (rendering / games / etc).
What do you suggest? Stick with the 13 which is almost inaudible most of the time but makes a lot of noise when under even a medium stress, or should I get a 16"?
Does anybody here do photo editing? How does the machine operate "fan-wise" and "noise-wise" in such scenario?
Thanks!
