A new piece of research claims that plugging in a MacBook Pro charger on the left-hand side of the device can cause the laptop to run hot, potentially affecting its performance.
Modern MacBook Pro laptops have only USB-C ports on either side of the laptop, with users able to plug the charger in on either side of the device.
However, research published on StackExchange claims that putting the charger in on the left-hand side alongside other peripherals causes spikes in the laptop’s temperature.
The research shows that within four minutes of the laptop being charged from the left-hand ports, alongside a USB-C-to-HDMI adapter, the temperature sensor on the left-hand side
of the laptop detects a heat spike. This seemingly causes a process called kernal_task to kick in, triggering high CPU usage and fans to start whirring.
