So, after about 5 Months of using my MBP 16" I am still quite happy with it.
Performance wise, Workflow, build quality, display, features ect… everything very good.
I did not experience a single crash or any problems with Cubase 10.5.

The only thing that bugs me is the fan noise.
If you connect an external display the fans run almost constantly at a fairly loud level.
This is quite annoying. I have installed utilities than can disable the Turbo Bosst of the CPU
and another tool that controls the fan speed. This helps sometimes but is also sometimes problematic.
As i have learned this is the price you pay for the much increased GPU an CPU performance.
If you run the Laptop without external display the fans are much less audible.
Still, for a 3500€ Laptop i would expect this machine to operate less noisy under load…

But all in all it is still a great machine.

I would be interested in knowing which app disables the turbo boost too?

Thanks in advance
