Can You Cook an Egg on the New i9 MacBook Pro

**The Great Egg Experiment: A Hands-On Review of Apple's i9 MacBook Pro**

As a tech enthusiast and video editor, I decided to put Apple's latest flagship laptop, the i9 MacBook Pro, through its paces in an unconventional way. My goal was to see if this powerful machine could actually cook an egg using nothing but heat and patience. In this article, we'll delve into the details of my experiment, from setup to completion.

To begin, I prepared a simple yet challenging test: cooking an egg on top of the laptop's cooling system. The temperatures were crucial to the success of this experiment, so I invested in a thermometer to monitor the CPU temperatures closely. As I set up the scene, the initial temperature readings showed promise, with the CPU reaching 113 degrees Celsius. This was encouraging, but I knew that the heat transfer would be key to achieving my goal.

With the egg placed on the laptop's surface and the temperature gauges in place, I waited patiently for the outcome. For over two hours, nothing seemed to happen – or so it appeared. In reality, the egg began to undergo a transformative process, slowly cooking beneath the surface of the aluminum casing. The temperatures fluctuated, with occasional spikes that hinted at the intense heat being generated by the laptop's processor.

**Temperature Takedown: Apple's Cooling System**

One of the most surprising aspects of this experiment was how well Apple's cooling system performed in dissipating heat. Over the course of several hours, I observed a remarkable decrease in temperature readings, with the CPU stabilizing at around 95 degrees Celsius. While still higher than ideal for cooking an egg, this marked a significant improvement from my initial expectations.

However, as we know, it takes time and patience to cook an egg – or so I thought. In reality, six hours passed before the egg reached its final destination: a state of being both half-cooked and not cooked at all. This outcome was due in part to the weird crusty film that began to form on the surface, rendering the egg unpalatable.

**The Egg's Final Fate**

As I examined the finished product (or lack thereof), I realized that this experiment had led me down a rabbit hole of disappointment and intrigue. The temperatures had indeed leveled out, and the laptop had managed to maintain its internal temperature within safe limits. However, the surface temperature of the laptop itself remained a concern – reaching as high as 116 degrees Fahrenheit.

**Conclusion: Apple's i9 MacBook Pro – A Kitchen Enthusiast's Worst Nightmare**

While I was initially excited about the prospect of cooking an egg on my new laptop, reality soon set in. The experience revealed that this powerful machine is not designed for cooking purposes and should never be used as such. Despite its impressive performance capabilities, Apple's i9 MacBook Pro falls short when it comes to thermal management.

In the end, I must admit that I was a bit disappointed by the outcome of my experiment. While I appreciated the laptop's ability to dissipate heat effectively, this feature ultimately meant that cooking an egg on top of the machine proved to be too ambitious a task.

**A Word from the Editor**

As for what we can expect from Apple's latest and greatest laptops in terms of thermal management, only time will tell. While the i9 MacBook Pro excels in most aspects of performance and design, its heat dissipation capabilities remain an area for improvement. For now, let this be a warning to those who might consider using their laptops as makeshift cooking surfaces: Apple's machines are meant for more than just culinary pursuits.

**A Parting Shot**

And with that, I bid farewell to my experimental egg, which will now have to find its way onto the compost heap – at least until next time. Despite the disappointment, I must give credit where credit is due: Apple's i9 MacBook Pro has proven itself to be a powerful machine in every sense of the word.

**A Side Note on Rendering and Performance**

As an added note, I'd like to mention that rendering out videos using this laptop proved to be seamless. The performance was exceptional, with nary a hiccup or lag to speak of – despite the initial excitement about cooking an egg. Perhaps Apple has done something right in terms of thermal management, but we'll have to see how it holds up over time.

**And That's All Folks!**

And so, our experiment comes to a close. While I may not have achieved my ultimate goal of cooking a perfect egg on the i9 MacBook Pro, I did gain valuable insight into the laptop's thermal management capabilities – and a newfound appreciation for Apple's design prowess.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey Siri how hot doesn't have to be to cook an egg that's probably good so my brand-new 2018 eye nine MacBook Pro cost me a little over thirty five hundred dollars and this isn't even the top model I didn't want to spend close to six seven thousand dollars for that and for that price for a laptop you could say damn it better make you breakfast and do the dishes too so I've had this a little over a week and since I first picked it up they did put out that update to fix some of the throttling issues people were having but one big problem still remains is these things get crazy hot with the I nine CPU and that's mainly a big issue with their heatsink that is not gonna be fixed with an update or anything like that it's just poorly designed these things just get way too hot I'm currently exporting a 4k video in Premiere Pro and just look at these temps jumping up and down and here you can see just the actual frame of the laptop itself is close to like 110 degrees alright so what I did was I turned the laptop upside down so it's a flat surface I do have a propped up but it is hooked up also to an external monitor so we could still check the temps so this is gonna act as a griddle okay so the egg is in the temperatures are up we're going to monitor see how long it takes actually cook an egg on the i-9 MacBook Pro so it's looking like 113 degrees is the temp right now let's see how long that holds up and remember all I'm doing is exporting a 4k video file in Premiere which is you know what I use to edit videos which is why I got the ayodhya processor it supposed to be for power users for the past 20 minutes or so it has been averaging at around 95 degrees Celsius you can see sometimes it does hit that 100 degree mark okay so now it's around 20 minutes later for around 40 minutes total it is taking a little bit longer than I anticipated but you can see the kind of like the base of the yolk is starting to harden a little bit and accidentally did a bump he had a little rubber piece a little bit when I was just in the tripod unfortunately but let's see how much longer this takes so few hours later it's cooling down by a lot alright so starting to wrap this one up this took so much longer than I thought it would and kind of a credit to Apple there but we'll get there in a minute so we are currently six hours past my first start of this video and it's been just me constantly coming in making sure everything's okay and if the videos done rendering and just you know rear end during another video out and a few things have happened so first off as you could see the temperatures is kind of leveled out over the past half hour so hovering around 75 degrees Celsius when before it was constantly up around 95 so that's sort of leveled out in second is gonna be the egg itself going through watching the time-lapse the egg was starting to get like this film on top and when I stopped and looked at it it would just appear and then disappear and then appear and then disappear I guess had something to do you know with the way the heat was hitting it the bottom wasn't getting cooked for the first few hours it was just getting this weird crusty film which you might have seen and then I left it I had dinner came back besides that they were starting to get cooked which is good it was turning white and that's kind of where we have to leave off because like I showed you the temperatures are kind of equaled out it's nowhere near as hot as was before and the egg is just in this weird state of being like half cooked but also at the same time not cooked at all because the top has this sort of weird film layer on it but it's still wet to the touch so none of its really been cooked thoroughly and after 6-7 hours that is not safe to eat at all unless you want a severe case of salmonella so that means overall these laptops kind of do a better job of dissipating the heat better than I expected at first and as you saw the iodine chip was getting close to like you saw like 98 99 degrees Celsius but the the hottest temperature that I clocked the actual surface of the laptop you know where I have it flipped upside down like a makeshift griddle was I think around 116 117 degrees Fahrenheit just all on that heat gun I had which means still in the end this is not lay the best solution from Apple in terms of their heat sink because that's still a lot more hotter than you want from a laptop you know it's a laptops with in your lap you don't want a hundred and fifteen degrees of this aluminum or metal whatever it is on your lap but at the same time it never got too hot to the point where it was gonna fully cook an egg at least not in six hours and at least not before the temperatures kind of throttle themselves out and averaged out after a while so it's in an awkward spot Sooey in the end no you cannot cook breakfast on an i-9 MacBook Pro which means I didn't need this at all it's kind of bummer I was looking forward to flipping it make it a nice little in a cooking video for you guys but at the same time it also means that Apple I guess from my end deserves a little bit more credit because I really thought seeing how hot the temps were getting after you know using this for a few days rendering out videos and just seeing the performance overall that this for sure would be able to cook an egg and even though the CPU temps are ridiculous the actual laptop itself is not too too bad although like I said 115 degrees for the surface isn't ideal so right guys that'll do it for me I'm random
