I am evaluating the purchase of a base 15" (2018). I am imagining myself coding on the go in a lot of different situations, also with the laptop on my... Lap. Do you think it is not feasible? I have never had a MacBook and I always was under the impression that it is one of the best laptops to use while keeping it on the lap (no overheating, sturdy and screen that doesn't wobble much).Yes, the machine gets really hot on my lap and the fans take forever to kick in and when they do they are louder than my Surface Book 2s.
Additionally, I can't stand loud fans that spin very often. I have an Acer that does this and it is very annoying: while the performance aren't that bad (Haswell i7), the fans almost make it sound like it is struggling at every small action I do (open the browser, open a text editor, browsing, etc). It's irritating for me and for the people that are around me.
What can you suggest in my situation? 2018 base 15" costs almost 3000€ where I live and it would be a big expense for me.
