Was bit worried and sceptical buying as i couldn't trust the price being such cheap mackbook online.
Decided to visit store myself, was a great experience bought a few other things got sweet discount with a physical visit.
Powerful machine i9, 16th ram, 1TB storage, with just ~350 battery cycles.
As these(intel) cpu macbook were known for heating issue and cpu throttling
followed this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/macbookpro/comments/hcqdhs/macbook_pro_16_cpu_throttling/
using: https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B07PNL9C1Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Working great, no throttling, the performance is superb
bought 2 of these, never looked back, they just work. No hiccups, no driver, support issues.
Just plug and play. I have multi monitor setup this helps so much with wiring and making things look clean.
Was soo happy with my first purchase got a second one, when i go another macbook ( from saudewala ).
Using this in my home lab for last 1 year 24/7, with 32GB ram, 512 nvme, with support for 1 more nvme slot, 4 port 1GBPS lan pcie.
Power draw is on higher side 40-100watt, depending on if you are using GPU, pcie expansion. It comes with a 150 watt so rest easy.
As this this comes with pcie 3.0 x8 riser, Can fit any low profile card, tested Quadro p400, 4x 1GBPS lan card.
igpu is quite capable, can transcode 2-4 streams.

Beat of a machine, running proxmox, virtualised pfsense, k8s, portainer.
only two issues:
- Only have display ports, don't have HDMI, if using as home server that's not a problem.
- if you put 4x lan card the heat would be much, if card doesn't have a active cooling.
A got 2x HP Thin Client T640, with 32GB RAM, 512GB nvme each, < 30watt TDP.
Running proxmox, k8s and a bunch of docker containers....and works just great!
out of 2, 1 had some booting problem, support was great, they arranged for a exchange without any questions.
Exchange was super quick and hassle free.
Bought this laptop for my younger brother for study purpose saudewala team suggested this product and i find it value for money. Thanks team saudewala
