This is the weirdest thing to me. I use a surface book and I've never had the fans turn on during video calls, even full-screen with lots of people on external 4k monitor.

Everyone switching to the new M1 talks about how quiet they are and I've not had a computer make noise unless I'm playing a serious 3d games. Why were the last gen macs so noisy?

Yes, Intel MBP running Teams with loud fans is embarrassing.

Intel Macbooks have terrible thermal management. People generally compare Intel Macbooks with M1 Macbooks.

It has to do with macOS and Intel vs Microsoft and Windows.

I think Apple sort of give up optimising x86 on Intel a while ago.
