The 14-inch models have fans but they're not enough to keep the CPU with tolerable limits. Run LLMs or something and it's going to spike to 95C and throttle down to 1.8ghz. People are paying $2000-$5000 for laptops full of CPUs that throttle 24/7, and the only reason they don't notice is because they never use the computer to do shit except email.

I would never let an American company read my prompts, especially when I'm doing image generation. Gemma 12b is 180 for legal writing so I don't need the cloud for that, and ljl@ any lawyer sharing sensitive info with a cloud computer for any reason.

Date: July 6th, 2025 12:33 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK The problem is you can't use more than 8gb of RAM without your Macbook overheating, and Apple lets people buy Macbooks with up to 128gb. You'll be in a nursing home before it gets done chewing through half that RAM because it has to throttle to 1/3 its rated speed.

Date: July 6th, 2025 12:54 PM Author: cucumbers my work MacBook Pro (14") typically uses around 14+ GB of RAM without issue. there's more to running LLMs than RAM
plus it's a fucking laptop. it's not a watercooled vapor chamber cryogenic desktop that can be overclocked without issue. you bought the wrong computer for running anything beyond a modest LLM |
