Here is a first look at the cooling solution Apple used to keep the temperatures of the 2021 MacBook Pro under control. We also get our first look at the M1 Max, which is the company’s fastest custom chipset to date.
The disassembly of the 16.2-inch MacBook Pro was published on Twitter by notable tipster L0vetodream. The brief teardown shows that the M1 Max is cooled using a dual-fan and single heat-pipe solution. It is not the beefiest cooling we have seen on a notebook computer, but that is likely because Apple’s custom silicon does not require it. According to the company, the new thermal system can move 50 percent more air at lower fan speeds and says that users will hardly need it, implying the energy efficiency of the M1 Pro and M1 Max.
