You don't want a computer that does thermal throttling but also do not like it when the fans turn on?

Sorry for not being clearer. I don't like the MacBook's noise when the fans turn on.

The Mac Studio has bigger heat sinks to delay the need for thermal management -- and if its fan does need to turn on, the bigger size means it's still silent instead of the high-pitched whooshing noise the tiny fans make in the MacBook.
