A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

editing with 14inch macbook pro m2 max any heat issues? (alien.top)

Would you expect when running lightroom classic editing large 100 megapixel plus panoramas or batch editing hundreds or sometimes a few thousand 26 megapixels photos with music streaming in the background and DXO pure raw 3 and Photoshop being used occasionally at the same time for a 14 inch m2 max 64gb ram to get hot and thermal throttle?

I have read loads of reviews some say it gets hot and throttles others say its great. So i was wondering if people who actually own one for photo and video editing what you experience has been with it? or would i be better off going with the 16inch version to better handle any heat issues.

Thanks

I hope not, my work is sending me one of those to replace my current setup

In my experience, since Apple switched to their M1 chips thermal issues were completely neutralised. I had 4 intel MacBooks die on me since 2016, all due to their insanely poor thermal management.

The new ones are night and day! I have never seen my temp go above 60 degrees, heck I’ve never even heard the fans ramp up!

(Disclaimer, I work mainly in audio. However I am a photographer and edit raw files in LR classic - not 100mp but still!)
