There was not a single Intel / X86-64 "unibody" Macbook in the entire history of Apple that didn't have a heat stress issue ๐. First unibody was released in 2009, the first w/ "M" chip fixing the problem in 2020 ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
What's the heat stress issue look like? Mine from about 8 years ago still works fine. But I did install a fan speed control app to make the fans come on sooner and keep it cooler.
A wide range of issues: Pretty much everything from refusing to boot again to vertical stripes or other "objects" randomly running over the screen. It should be noted that it depends a lot on how you used your device. If you stay away from gaming / video editing or other sources of "constant load" - you may be fine. What kills the notebook is regular overheating...
That's not a secret. MKBHD and Linus were calling this shit out. I remember Linus running some monitoring apps on a intel macbook and watching the CPU throttle when it hit the pathetic thermal limit.
Those people have tens of millions of followers.
A minority of all Mac users pay attention to any YouTube tech content, the average buyer is at best watching a few MKBHD reviews.
