Bought Macbook pro 2019 on Sunday. 1.4ghz quad core, 256 SSD, 8 GB Ram.
This is Activity Monitor.
This is temprature recorded through "Temprature Gauge". I can feel battery and keyboard to medium hot... Should my keyboard feel hot when i type? Are these temps normal for inside of macbook... Side note, i am sitting in 70 degree temperature in my bedroom.
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14
Thanks for feedback... Add some screenshots post your comment. my keyboard and palm rest area next to trackpad are hot.. With given utilized resource, cant imagine how hot it would get after running 50% of resources.
Are MACs known to be hot? First time shifter..
Maybe take another look at Activity Monitor, but set it to view “All Processes”. For heat generation, look in the “Energy” tab.
You can’t really look at any 3rd party tool at all. All of that information is reverse-engineered. With a new machine, it could be totally bogus, like your negative fan speed.
Google Chrome and its minion helpers (I see eight just in that last screenshot) are known resource hogs on both Mac and Windows computers. Test by quitting Chrome, letting the computer stabilize for about 20 minutes, then seeing what the temps are without Chrome running.
Historically the critical temp for MacBook Pros has been 100C/212F. Just before that, the temperature sensors on the logic board will send a signal to the CPU to shut down the computer. Thermal shutdowns usually happen without a dialog box.
At ~135F you are still far from the danger zone. Neither Safari nor FireFox tax the hardware as much as Chrome.
Mine isn't (but I also do not use Google/Chrome). If you just bought it, you have 14 days to return it (if you bought it directly from Apple).
FWIW, your 1.4 Ghz processor is really basic. Exactly what model do you have - a Macbook or a Macbook Pro? The 1.4 Ghz Macbook was introduced in 2017.
My problem is heat on keyboard and area on both side of trackpad. It’s almost annoying and uncomfortable. Is this a norm for MacBooks?
