Hi all

In Mex Tech's review the MacBook Air 2020 would reach 100 C while opened few tabs in chrome.

How about MacBook Pro base model ?

Thank

The MacBook Pro has an active cooling system, a physical heatsink is attached to the CPU. Even when running multiple Chrome tabs the 13 inch will get nowhere near 100C during normal web browsing.

The only time the CPU reaches high temperatures is if I'm watching a 4K video in Chrome, even then temperatures appear to peak at around 88C

I am not sure about the exact temperature but also my new MPB 2020 13' gets a bit hot/warm when using Chrome for web browsing, I used the same open tabs (including you tube) with safari and the laptop stays pretty cold.
