> Some of this conversation confuses me. Since the M1 MacBooks came out, all of a sudden people are talking like every MBP version prior is junk. Top-of-the-line MBP that can't run dual monitors? Where were these conversations about poor MBP performance 6 months ago?

The 15/16" MBP is certainly capable of supporting 4K displays without issue (posting from one now). Most likely some people have something screwed up in their setup and didn't realize it until they moved to another system.

With the new MacBook Air, they won't even know their setup is screwed up because there won't be any fan noise. It'll just slowly degrade over time.



The fan noise isn't the only tell. That macbook air chassis can get very hot. It makes my hands sweat when typing and resting my palms on it.


Usually when I'm coding, my laptop is on my desk so I don't notice the heat.
