Even more curious is the fact that they have returned it as a float for as long as retina displays were a thing. Some iPhone models, too, render the UI at 3x and then downscale it to fit the screen. With how advanced macOS graphics stack is, I don't understand why does Apple not do this, instead insisting on using integer multipliers. Oh and there's also "ldpi", which is something like 0.75x, though there were very few devices with it. You can provide separate resources for each pixel density if you still use bitmap graphics for some reason. Some devices have non-integer pixel densities (multipliers or device pixel ratios or scaling factors or whatever term you prefer), especially 1.5x aka "hdpi" that was popular around 2011.
It transforms the laptop into a fully fledged workstation.Android is like that too. I can now run AAA games on 4K and ultra settings.

So, I can connect multiple monitors, power and all my accessories with one cable.Īnother advantage over the dGPU is that I don’t have to play games in 1080p to use high settings. It also acts as a hub for all my monitors, hard disks etc. Then, it is completely silent even when rendering video at the same time. As soon as I plug in the eGPU this is solved. When recording on Screenflow I could also hear the fans in the background. In addition, when I only had the dGPU and one external 4K, the fan sound when on a videoconference was perceivable by people listening to my calls (it can be heard in recordings). Even photo editing is faster and smoother. For rendering video, it is more than double the speed. Running a desktop GPU is night and day better for anything graphics intensive and when you get used to it, the dGPU is noticeably slower even for productivity apps. While it is capable of running 5K, the dGPU is still a mobile GPU. ie everything works, no overheating, happy ending. It shouldn’t have the overheating problem, and I can finally focus on getting my business running instead of spending all of my time troubleshooting the overheating Macbook.

With that knowledge, I ordered a Mac Mini to replace the Macbook Pro.

Since I received the Macbook Pro on 3/27, after the stores had already closed, I can return it for a full refund. Apple will honor return requests for 2 weeks after stores open if the return window expired while stores were closed for Covid19. Power settings are at defaults, so I don’t think it’s a setting. After I log in, a crash port pops up and I send it. I have to press the power button to boot it up every morning. I was able to duplicate this once more, but after that I tried 2 more times, and could not duplicate it.Īlso, I noted that my Macbook Pro won’t resume from sleep. I moved the youtube video from the sidecar to my external display, and it Radeon power dropped to 7W and the fans eventually slowed down. The fans switched to high speed, around 4.6k rpm, temp 65C, and Radeon High End was at 20W I was able to duplicate the overheating problem by playing a youtube Python tutorial video on the sidecar iPad. Īpple Support had me create 2 more System log data capture files using their Capture Data utility.ġ was with 2 displays connected to the dock.ġ was with 2 displays connected directly to the Macbook Pro ġ External Monitor, U2718Q with Displayport to USB-C cableġ iPad Pro 10.5" iOS 13.1 in sidecar mode with lightning cable No fixes but I was able to overheat the Macbook with an external display and sidecar’d iPad.
