so my question relates specifically to fan noise and heat. I'm fairly confident that all of these would run the projects I intend to run. Second: How about the processor? The choices I have are the 2.6GHz 6-core i7, the 2.3GHz 8 core i9, or the slight bump to a 2.4GHz 8 core i9. (I'm not overly technical when it comes to graphics, as I don't do video work or gaming.) It seems pretty simple to choose either, and the pricing isn't wildly different, so I'm keen to understand whether the more powerful GPU (5500M) is more capable at keeping noise and heat at bay. I'm aware that the choice of 64GB of RAM will significantly help with performance from these large libraries.įirst: does the internal GPU make a difference to the way an external screen functions, and the demands placed on the laptop? If I'm choosing between the Radeon 5300M or 5500M (the 5600M is out of my price range), will one of these do a better job of comfortably operating my external display, and minimising fan noise and excessive heat? I'm looking for some guidance with my purchase - to try to minimise fan noise and heat to the extent that's possible, by choosing the right specs.Īs context: my setup revolves around Logic Pro X (with some occasional Cubase use), and I use fairly sample-heavy / processor heavy plug-ins like Omnisphere, Superior Drummer, and a number of large orchestral sample libraries from Spitfire. Of course, like many of these things, there haven't been any solid analytical tests done - but it does appear that lots of people have suffered these issues with their new MacBook Pro 16". There's also a general anecdotal consensus that these MacBooks usually only produce excessive fan noise and heat when they're used with an external display. It appears that i9 units are most severely effected, and depending on who you ask, it seems that the problems aren't combined to a specific DAW. There has been a lot of discussion about overheating on the current MacBook Pro 16". I'm going with the 16" MacBook Pro, and will opt for 64GB of RAM. Given that the desktop being replaced is a healthily-specced Mac mini, I'm looking for a well-specced laptop.
#Turbo boost switcher pro for mac reviews update
I'm about to update the studio computer, replacing a desktop Mac and a MacBook Pro combo that I have now, with a single computer for studio and location.
