This laptop has to use PWM. I bought one and then had to return it. It felt the same as the macbook air 2020 and the other 2019 Macbook Pros on my eyes. I cannot use devices with PWM.

Some people are satisfied and proud of owning this type of laptop, I'm not one of them. Of course there is some qualities this laptops possesses, but it's mainly the flaws that keep me from considering this laptop. When I purchase a travel laptop, I expect it to deliver on casual gaming, unlike this could ever do, as per my standards. Again to each his own, but the premium price asked for this laptop can only be appreciated by a dedicated fan.

Can you differentiate between the 2020 MacBook Pro 13" 2TB3 and the 2020 MacBook Pro13" 4TB3 like you did with 2019s?? I was told that the 2TB3 and the 4TB3 are completely different machines and that is true for 2019 as well as 2020. I am mostly interested in the PWM because for 2019- the 4TB3 did not have PWM and the 2TB3 did. I am retruning my 2020 MacBook Air because it instantly gave me eye pain and a headache! Thank you!!

Thanks a lot for the review. Would that be possible to check the level of PWM on the MacBook Pro 13 2020 with two thunderbolt ports?

Nothing screams finished product like thermal throttling down to performance of pre-2016 gens. The matter of fact is that MBP has average hardware and increasingly disproportionate to the price tag. For OS neutral consumers, it's hard to recommend latest gens MBP/MBA because you can have much better hardware for the same price if you go with Windows.

To all the idiots who claim that mac is better than anything that Windows has to offer. It is not. By no means it is a bad laptop, but given the price it just... meh. It is more a fashion accessory than working tool. Live with it. It's main selling points are design (which is nice) and Mac OS, which is a unix that has better support than other unix alternatives. That's it.

So his AMD superior claim is fair enough.

I've been using a 2017 13" MacBook Pro for the past 3 years. And I just had the opportunity to try the latest Razer Blade Stealth which is considered as one of the high-end Windows ultrabook. In terms of gaming performance it is by no means the no1 ultrabook, I cannot deny it. But when it is unplugged from mains, it gets so slow and unresponsive. Its touchpad is also one of the best among the Windows machines, but still miles away from what a MacBook's one can provide. It has 4 speakers audio system, still means no compete to the MacBook, the latter is just so much better. Although the screen is 4k, it is so reflective that I can see myself in it even in-house. The overall user experience is so much worse that I must say 92% is pretty accurate if Razer Blade is what a premium Windows laptop means.
