every high-power laptop on the market will have fan noise if you push it.hairyhero wrote:is it same with other i7 2018 models?Artcutech wrote:I bought the 2018 32gb i9 and opened up a maxed out midi arrangement, fan came on almost right away, so I returned it and bought an iMac pro 8 core 64gb ram and that thing runs anything I throw at it smoothly
Re: Macbook Pro i9
I’m not sure hairy hero, but I know the i9 really likes to heat up
Makes sense, but with 32gb of ram and 6-cores I really thought it would have held up better, and I’ve heard from a lot of people that the i9 does heat up more than normal, definitely happy going for the iMac pro 8 core 64gb ram and no longer dealing with heat and fan noise, I use my old MBP i5 8gb of ram for serato and more forgiving sustain loadsfishmonkey wrote:

but i don't know what abt the long run on how it affects lifespan and will it gets even hotter in a few years later. Unfortunately with student discount that expired on the day i ordered with spec upgraded, i can't return. Even complained abt 2 weeks policy but i guess it doesn't apply to jointed campus distributor in 3rd world country....
and congrats on iMac pro btw! i would love to buy it but im still doing music as a hobby atm, so i would rather have portable machine since my 2012 is aging
can u test out how many maxed out voice Serums can it run on Ableton?
