hello every one. hope u r doing fine.
well its been a while that im looking for a second handed macbook for my daily use. i was not sure about to get air or pro models. at last second i finally decided to go for a 12" retina from 2015 and im happy with what i got. got this machine with a fair price of 300$ with 8gbram and 512gb storage. I love the retina display , speakers ,lightweight and keyboard on it although there are some downsides.
-i got this thing today and was setting up my preference and surprisingly after 6 hrs of use with lowest brightness it drained the whole battery. the battery on this thing is new with only 12 cycles and i was expecting it to last till night ( seller said he paid 70$ for the battery replacement).
Beside that poor battery life my main usage is futures trading and it gets hot (warm to touch about 45c maybe) by using only 2 chrome tabs for tradingviewDOTcom and my broker website. are these normal conditions for a 2015 macbook?
-how can i manage the temperature
-i know m core intels are not designed for peformance but i was hoping to use windows on parallel to run some engineering apps, with this over heating seems impossible, right?
