    "Poor reviews for the M2 MacBook Pro have been backed up this week by teardowns on the laptops, slower storage options, and both overheating and throttling issues when performance is demanded. This is why you should ignore Apple's M2 MacBook Pro."

    "perfromance" [sic] issues when compared with the M1 Pro...

    ...which is by design supposed to be faster than an M2.

    You should learn to follow through and read the original source for
    those claims of "perfromance" issues, Liarboy

    'The fan was maxed out at 7200RPM the ENTIRE time, so there was nothing
    the MacBook Pro could do to cool itself down except for HEAVILY throttle
    down the M2 chip. This led to much worse performance than the M1 Pro
    chip, which didn't have to max out its fans.'

    The M2 is the replacement for the M1...

    ...not for the M1 Pro.
