​

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

    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!)
