    14 inch does not make sense to me as a form factor for a high performance machine. They always run too hot, like a 13 inch. You never get the full power of the machine because it can’t handle it.

      14" is roughly the same size as the old 13" macbooks – that number is the viewable screen size diagonal measurement. The 2011 macbook for example just has a larger bezel around the screen.

      I’ve owned/used several 13/14" macbooks and they never run hot unless I’ve managed to open several hundred tabs and neglected to reboot for over a week.

      My current M1 14" almost always runs cool, even under stress, even while charging. Hearing the fan is so rare that it actually surprises me when it kicks on.
