Macbook Pro heating up with external monitor
I'm sure all MacBook Pro users with devices from 2019 have experienced extreme temperatures on your devices hen plugging in external displays. This is NOT a problem with your cables, monitors, or adapters. This problem is purely on Apple.
Look online and forums are full of angry users trying to find solutions for 2 years for this problem, with varying results and no clear fixes to the issue.
It is now known that there is a problem with the GPU pulling a lot more power than it requires when plugging any king of external monitor, and there is no way to work around it. The most common solution is setting a fixed frame rate and using the laptop in clamshell mode, with only moderately high temperatures but at least they're bearable.
We did not pay a premium $2,000+ for a laptop that cannot be plugged to an external monitor without it either burning the skin off of our fingertips or breaking the fans due to the constant heavy load they're submitted to (already had to replace mine once). Keep in mind the extreme temperatures in your machine will also have a heavy impact on it's overall performance.
It's been 2 years Apple, and we still have no updates, fixes, or even a word from you about this issue. As customers we deserve to at least have some communication with you that isn't an automated answer telling us to contact support, cause we already did and all they can do is tell us to change our equipment or send the computer to service, when we already know the issue is that the computer is working in a way it is not supposed to.
Please, I expect a real answer from you, or this will be the last Apple product I'll ever buy.
Thank you.
