Throttling and Macbook Air M1 case

[dboris]

I was about to order a rugged case for the Macbook M1 and then I realised ;
Since the body is dissipating the heat, putting on top of heat a 1mm thick sheet of silicone/plastic, it may impact greatly the performance.


Is anyone able to test that?
Cases for 2020 models should fit.

no but very curious, just posted a link regarding the use of a cooling pad, which case did you get it?

I wanted a rugged one but went for a standard cheap 10$ one. But orange flashy.

Sorry I don't understand. do you think what it would improve performance or make it worse?

Make it worse.
