Thinking about finally upgrading it to something better, since editing 1080p projects has become a struggle nowadays. And overheating and battery life has been terrible. When the MacBook overheats, even web browsing is a struggle. So I'm trying to figure out what to switch to, and looking for suggestions.
The adventures of increased heating may be different but in the case of computers. Apple usually deals with too tightly placing internal components due to the compactness and lightness of the devices. Nevertheless, despite the fact that the entire number of components is located in a small housing, the heat release inevitably increases. If you do not pay attention to the elevated temperature, this will affect the battery life in the course of time, and may also lead to the breakdown of other components, for example, a video chip.
Check the resource-intensive applicationsApplications that use mercilessly Mac resources are one of the most important causes of overheating. Sometimes applications hang or crash, loading the processor to the maximum and, as a result, causing increased heat generation. You can find hung and resource intensive applications through System Monitoring: all processes that consume more than 70% of the processor power are "gluttonous". If this is not the main tool that you are currently working with, for example, Final Cut Pro, which calculates the project, it is better to complete the process. And the resources will be freed, and the Mac will not get warm like this.
