And any comments or specific review about the M2 Macbook Air experience are almost welcome too.Ĭlick to expand.Your current Intel machine hits 100 ☌ under heavy load because that's roughly its maximum safe operating temperature.īoth the M1 and the M2 chips will also hit 100 ☌ under heavy load because it's roughly their maximum safe temperature. That's it! If you guys can help me figuring this out, that would be awesome. For instance, I'm wondering how could the new Air run Dirt 4 with High settings, would it get hot as well for that quite old game? To give you an idea, my current Intel MBP would reach 100° easily even with medium settings for that particular game. * I'm not interested by recent AAA games (MBA isn't made for that anyway), but I do enjoy some indie games as well as some 'old AAA' games. How this would perform on the M2 chip in this new MBA? Do you think it could stay cool? Or maybe not going above 90-95 ☌? Although the first one is light, P圜harm makes my current Intel MBP getting quite hot, when indexing or just running simple codes (involving matrices operations, etc. * I'm developer coding mainly on Sublime Text and P圜harm (just coding and running scripts, not building). If you guys already have this machine, perhaps you can tell me how it performs, especially in term of temperature I would say: So here a couple of usage I would do with this Macbook Air M2. I have to mention, my Intel gets quite hot just by indexing Spotlight or indexing Python packages via P圜harm. Although I do expect that in a fanless machine, I don't really know what to expect here for my specific use.

Of course as plenty of us have already seen, there are some reviews online showing heavy workload leading to some thermal throttling. I'm quite interested by the new Macbook Air M2 (my current model is a MBP 13 inch 2015, Intel) for having a lighter and faster machine (+ the great form factor, I admit).
