Did you watch the youtube link I posted, where they talk about heat and fans?? Yes, I have seen his reviews on the new MacBook Air, however, I have also read a few posts on MacRumors that state the opposite... https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/my-new-macbook-air-i7-2020-for-logic-and-final-cut-pro-and-false-overheating-alarms.2234452/ I believe it’s highly likely that the i5 will have some heating/fan issues, although I have read that the i3 is less likely to ramp up so much? I am buying blind essentially so I’m trying to make an informed choice. Basically I can afford the i3 or i5 with 16gb ram or the i7 with 8gigs, unfortunately I’m somewhat limited on options within my price range

I have looked into the turbo boost switcher app which seems to be a good workaround, does anyone on here use it on the air? and/or know if it’ll be supported for future OS updates? Fingers crossed someone here can help

Hi there This is my first post here, if it’s in the wrong section please let me know where best to post this. Basically, I’m on the look out for a new Mac and have been toying with the idea of a MacBook Air with i5 processor and 16 gigs of ram, or the i7 with 8 gigs. Fan noise and overheating issues are my main concerns, and also how well it can actually run under long hours of continuous work. I can spend over 10 hours some days so I need a machine that can handle it for at least 4 to 5 years. I don’t mind limiting the amount of tracks, bouncing in place and generally working within limited boundaries, however, I would like to have a rough idea on how limited I may be with the new MacBook Air? I have read up online but opinions seem to be somewhat split on the heat/fan issues, processors, amount of ram sufficient enough... Anyone own the i5 with 16gigs of ram or the i7 with 8? Any information on how these things are running would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
