So I bought a nice new MBP 16" i9 (GPU 5500) 4 weeks ago, and after two weeks it started randomly freezing. I'm not connected to any monitors or running any exotic software. I update to Big Sur, which made no difference.
1) If the machine is left for a while, it will freeze 50% of the time.
2) If it sleeps and starts, it will freeze.
3) After Big Sur, it freezes and I can move cursor, but it's a double arrow that won't click on anything.
I did a search and I see a (seriously) HUGE amount of people wrestling with this issue. I'm annoyed that I missed it while researching the machine. It never freezes while I'm working on it, just when it's left unattended. I can't believe so many people are reporting this and there's no solution??? A lot of people are just restarting as a workaround? Is this 1995?
2800 dollar Apple laptop. I made Apple take back my 15" MBP when the keyboard went to hell. I hope this can be resolved because I'm pretty close to going back to a PC. My son's Razer laptop hasn't had an issue ever.
Anyone have recent clues on this? Thanks.
