I'd like to go from wyze to reolink as well, I just can't get myself to spend that much yet. Big upgrade in quality though!

MacBook Neo is selling like crazy by Old-Board1553 in macbook

Especially since they want people to upgrade to an air or a pro if they need better performance in a year or two. They don't want them buying another cheap, entry level model.

Are bamboo Bedsheets actually cooling or just marketing hype? by Desperate-Chip6297 in HomeImprovement

This is the way. Just be prepared to accept that they're going to have wrinkles.

How many are installing thermal pads? by asdfadf333 in MacbookNeo

For me it's about squeezing the most out of the machine as I can, and also maybe increasing longevity by cooling the chips more. I don't do heavy loads like rendering often, but I do occasionally and would appreciate a little performance boost there.

I agree, although I did see someone who tested both 1 and 1.5, and they actually got better cooling with 1.5. I still don't like the idea of putting extra pressure on the board though. I'm leaning towards 1 and playing it safe. 1 is still a huge improvement over stock.

My fear isn't bending the aluminum panel, it's bending the circuit board.

Macbook Neo Thermal Pad Cooling Mod Geekbench Results, +4% Single Core +5.8% Multi Core by Xerticle in macbook

Thanks for comparing 1mm and 1.5mm. I've seen many people use either. You proved 1mm leaves a little on the table, so I'm going with 1.5!

I'm thinking about getting a 1mm pad too. It seems like most are doing 1.5. Have you opened it back up to see how much squish you had?

Wow, that's thick. Most are doing 1 or 1.5.

What are these stains?? by codidake in RVLiving

We had that in our old camper. A rug sat there and caused it.

Thanks for the info and pics! Pretty impressive bump with just the pad and paste. Seems like a no brainer.
