    Hello! I installed a program for working with fans on my laptop (I bought it new six months ago) and noticed that the coolers were spinning even at 50 degrees: at this time only Notes, Safari and Telegram were running.

To send same file from Mac to iPhone doesn't take so long. I have tested sending to iPad, it works fine, sending from iPad to Mac is...

    I don't think this is normal, it's a little shy of 300 charge cycle, and it's already around 82-85% capacity. Any thoughts on this?

    The old MacBook Pro 15 2016-2019 has some magic in it, feels lighter and easier to hold than the new 14

    It has much better hand feel, though I'm not sure how the design team pulled it off, to make a long post short. By the spec sheet it definitely should feel heavier since it's 1.83 kg vs 1.6 kg for the 14. The more tapered edges as opposed to the bulky flat edge of the newer models probably...
