"Comparing Apple's M3 MacBook Air and M3 MacBook Pro: Which is the Better Choice?"

The newly released M3 MacBook Air has been found to reach extreme temperatures of up to 114 degrees Celsius under full load, leading to thermal throttling and a steep decline in graphics performance. The lightweight laptops, which rely on passive cooling without fans, experienced these high temperatures during benchmark tests. While the M3 systems are very fast, their extreme heat levels raise concerns about their suitability for heavy workloads, despite being designed for light computing tasks.
