I am almost ready to purchase MBP 2020 13" 2.3 Ghz / 16 Gb RAM / 1 Tb SSD - Core i7 Quad-Core (10th Gen)model.

After researching feedback from current owners, overheating seems to be a such a frequent concern that I am thinking of delaying the purchase until more information becomes available (which of course may not happen). In some instances, Apple replaced the laptop but overheating issue remained unsolved. The usual suggestions from Apple - reset SMC, reinstall OS - do not seem to be working.

For me, buying a separate cooling pad is not a solution.

Anyone else having overheating problems with their 2020 MBP 13" laptops?

I have the 512 GB version of that system and don't have any complaints about overheating. Might be more of an issue with external monitors and such, but I rarely use an external monitor for any of my laptops. I have a large deskside Windows/Ubuntu system that has multiple monitors.
