Why do Apple only sell Macbook Pros with i5 cores now? My early

Because they all throttle down to core 2 duo tier performance either way, so it doesn't matter what CPU they cram in there.

I'm noob as fuck and had no idea, why does it throttle?

>>55690690
Terrible battery management, so Apple crams all macs with massive batteries, using up the space that usually goes toward a good cooling system, and then the poor cooling causes the entire thing to overheat and throttle to less than 1/3 its power.

It works out for people who do nothing but web browsing, but then those people could've just gotten a smaller lighter laptop with a weaker CPU that gets the same battery life with a smaller battery.

Wait so have ALL MBPs with i7s been throttling? Or have they drastically increased battery size recently?

There's good reason nearly all gaming laptops are thick massive bricks, because the typical usage of those laptops involve running at max load for extended periods. Doing anything taxing on MBPs that are half the thickness, with those tiny vents is just asking for a housefire. They literally have no reason to exist since you can never fully utilize the hardware at all.

Your graphic-editing ability is even worse than your trolling.
If you really want to convince anybody show us the original pics - if they exist.

Oh oh, AIDF is here.

If that is the reason then why do they only install i5s in Macs too? Without the battery to take care of, then hypothetically they could install a sufficient cooling system for an i7?

>>55691310
Because the vast majority of mac purchasers use them solely as internet browsing machines, and anyone that needs more power would likely not consider a mac in the first place due to price/performance.

But older MBPs seem to be fairly powerful when upgraded w SSDs and RAM, I use a lot of drawing software while working with huge canvases and my upgraded MBP handles it great

Drawing software barely registers above idling, word processing, and browsing emails desu senpai.
