Things haven’t been going so well for Apple’s new 2018 Macbook Pro.

Owners of Apple’s latest Macbook Pro model are reporting their devices are being hit with multiple kernel panics, some as often as two times a day according to a new 9to5Mac report.

The first thing that stands out is cooling. The new iMac Pro has a very large, dual-fan cooler and a rear ventilator which iFixit claims offers an 80% increase in cooling capacity. On top of this, a large heatsink helps cool the GPU and the CPU. Given that the iMac Pro has top-notch components crammed in a tight space, the cooling improvements are very welcome, especially for professionals who’ll throw hard tasks at this machine for extended periods of time.  Read more…
