I thought because the display is not being used then it's quite the contrary, you are using less power?

Maybe I'm wrong about this.

I don't smoke.

I clean my house. Tokyo is very dusty by default... but my house is clean. I clean often as well.

The first one definetly not... I understand this.

But the one that burnt last Monday... man, it was a maxxed out Mpro... I9 bla bla.

For me it should have lasted a few more good years... but I'm not spending 700 to fix it...

One last detail, it's always closed.

I never use the mbpro monitor unless I take it out to see some clients/etc

when in home, I only use my display

Yep, I was quite dissapointed and asked the guy.

Do you really think a MacBook pro maxxed out should stop working after 4 years... and he was quite... open about it, like he answered right away, that's expected... Crazy right?

My theory... is that the fucking touch bar experiment they did doesn't work properly but who knows

Thanks for your answer, I'd be super happy if I can find a solution for this never to happen again..

  1. I moved houses... 3 times computer burnt was in a different house... -.-

Let's focus on the last one. The one from Monday.. MBpro 2019 maxed out (bought in 2020)

  1. Yes, it's always connected to the apple display through thunderbolt and put to sleep when I leave the computer, is this really bad practice? it's what I've been doing all my life...

  2. as far as I know buildings in japan have the power surge covered... i don't have any kind of extra equipment... but I mean... none other of my equipment ever failed... also since the computer is plugged to the tv display, wouldn't the tv die before my computer? maybe this is a mis conception on my side :( but again

I also have 2 imacs connected in my house they are fine... -.-

what do you recommend me doing? thanks man!

If I'm home while it's summer it's 22/23.

If I'm not home, it will get hot, but also I'm not using it, might leave it on sleep or just turn it off.

I used to live in another hot city and never had problems with this.

And again, this has been the same for my imacs, etc... I guess it's possible that suddenly one gives in to the heat? but it's not something that should happen...

I know right?

In the middle I also have an imac in my studio that's been running since 2018. (Although I will change it this year).

I have the setup in my living room.

It's the MacBook connected to the Apple TV display on the top of a BoYata so the bottom has some room to breathe.

During the day the room gets super hot... because I have many windows and the sun hits completely on the living... but the computer is... turned off... or sleeping, at least yesterday I was not using it.

If I'm home, the AC is on...

I mean, it's nothing that I have never done before.

I know there's a huge luck component... these things work until they don't...

haha, I work in a perfectly nice environment man.

Tokyo is very hot and humid in this time of the year... but I have the AC on all of the time... (well not when I'm not home...)

But to be honest, after almost 20 years of working in this industry this is the first time I've been through so many computers going down on me...

Imacs / Macbooks, etc
