Fans are at 0 RPM all the time, I haven&amp;#x27;t heard them yet. It compiles the same Android project without a sweat and with 0 RPM fan speed. The i9 was hitting 100C and maximum RPM in the same use case and took maybe three times longer. And the new macbook was about 25% cheaper than the 16&amp;quot; I bought in 2020. It&amp;#x27;s a completely different league - worth all the money I spent.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>vmception</author><text>Also note for anyone on the fence about being 1-inch larger,&lt;p&gt;the 16 inch model is the same physical size as the 15-inch models and they removed a lot of bezel. the screen has the same camera&amp;#x2F;sensor notch as an iphone does, which allows them to extend the screen farther.&lt;p&gt;full screen videos are letterboxed 99% of the time so the notch blends into. I don&amp;#x27;t play full screen games so can&amp;#x27;t tell if thats an issue. and it is in the OS top bar the other rest of the time.</text></comment>

Why would you expect it to be warm?</text></comment>
