It throttles constantly even after undervolting it. I had to do a bunch of black magic to get it to sleep properly (which is evidently happening to every Dell) and eventually gave up on that and just set it to hibernate any time the lids closed (it&amp;#x27;s 32gb so that adds about 30 seconds to the start up time). I&amp;#x27;ve spent more time tweaking this thing, reading forums and reddit about how to make it perform DECENTLY than I did building my last hackintosh and I don&amp;#x27;t enjoy that experience ever. When you get past all these issues it&amp;#x27;s still Windows 10 which I just find to be the most annoying OS I&amp;#x27;ve ever used.&lt;p&gt;Just got my new MBP yesterday and couldn&amp;#x27;t be more excited to be back on osx. I do really, really wish my MBP was smaller and a 2 in 1, though.</text><parent_chain><item><author>rubber_duck</author><text>I got a top spec 15 MBP a year ago and I have to say the experience is appalling - 4000$ device that goes full airplane takeoff levels of noise at any serious workload, no ability to control performance (I would gladly throttle the CPU sooner to avoid everyone in the office turning my way when I start an emulator or keep the fans at lower RPM but constantly instead of letting the CPU idle at 60-70 degrees with no fans).&lt;p&gt;All of this could be fixed if the device gave me power settings but even third party paid tools that require custom kernel extensions (Volta) still don&amp;#x27;t work reliably.&lt;p&gt;My next computer is not going to be from Apple for sure.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Apple changes default MacBook charging behavior to improve battery health</title><url>https://sixcolors.com/post/2020/04/apple-battery-health-management/</url></story>

Could be the more powerful Nvidia dGPU on the Dell although I am talking purely CPU workload however with the shared thermal solution the Dell has it could be a bigger factor than I think?</text><parent_chain><item><author>rubber_duck</author><text>I got a top spec 15 MBP a year ago and I have to say the experience is appalling - 4000$ device that goes full airplane takeoff levels of noise at any serious workload, no ability to control performance (I would gladly throttle the CPU sooner to avoid everyone in the office turning my way when I start an emulator or keep the fans at lower RPM but constantly instead of letting the CPU idle at 60-70 degrees with no fans).&lt;p&gt;All of this could be fixed if the device gave me power settings but even third party paid tools that require custom kernel extensions (Volta) still don&amp;#x27;t work reliably.&lt;p&gt;My next computer is not going to be from Apple for sure.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Apple changes default MacBook charging behavior to improve battery health</title><url>https://sixcolors.com/post/2020/04/apple-battery-health-management/</url></story>
