QUOTE(codenamew @ Jun 14 2020, 08:23 AM) My MacBook Pro feels hot too during charging but once I unplug it, it don’t feel hot. It could be the battery is located beneath the palm rest. Yeah, but Im using it when it was plugged and charging, so a bit uncomfortable to type.You mean apple care or apple care +? If apple care you can get it from switch. I am looking for Apple care +. Anyone has US credit card to help me pay?  This is my first macbook pro and now I know there is normal Apple Care and Apple Care +  confuse already. Not sure if its worth it to buy Apple Care. |

QUOTE(andrewtho @ Jun 14 2020, 09:21 PM) Might want to use iStat to check the source of heat - I mean it will be warm if there's an intense load, but not to the extend of it being uncomfortable to type. Will do that. This is my macbook for quite some time since 2016. Being .NET developers for so many years, want to be apps developer as well The only time my Mac is uncomfortable to type is when I'm running Bootcamp for gaming playing COD  Temps will spike to around 69-75c. QUOTE(codenamew @ Jun 15 2020, 05:54 AM) But in order to get Apple care +, you need a US credit or debit card and I believe the MacBook Pro need to be from US region. What I can say from the normal Apple Care is that it give you a peace of mind when comes to battery. If your battery capacity falls below 80% in the 3 years, you can claim a free battery. QUOTE(myjunk @ Jun 15 2020, 09:04 AM) AFAIK APC+ Is for accidental liquid damage and only applicable for like 2 times claim? Alright, I will check and get the Apple Care for my new MBP 16. Thanks guys! I’ve not regretted my APC Purchase. It has served me well.  |

QUOTE(ntc3freak @ Jun 22 2020, 02:35 PM) Is an external monitor connected to it by any chance? Because if so, then it is a common issue faced by myself and many others on the Macrumors forums. Im not connecting any external monitor when charging as well. But after using this macbook for a couple charging cycles, seems the battery not feeling too hot now while charging. weird. |
