[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1936039, member: 56379"] Great to hear that!:) Your son must really be working the computer playing games. The one thing about the Apple Silicon computers in general (laptops as well)...is they run significantly cooler & quieter than the previous Intel based models. The Intel based models almost always ran hot (didn't take too much to get them hot)...and fans almost always loud. So hot that if it was the Summertime...on your lap...and wearing shorts...could burn your legs (I've had this happen many times)...large red marks on legs. I'm guessing when you use your M2 MacBook Air...it's almost always cool & silent.:) Nick [/QUOTE]
