#Refurbished macbook pro 17 inch upgrade

I'm trying to word this carefully because 1 I have no experience with this 2 Apple is reportedly saying there is no problem and 3 mainstream tech journalists (eg the verge, mkbhd, etc) are not talking about it. That may not seem like a lot but it reduces the power available to the processor which in turn can cause the processor to be throttled down to meet the chassis thermal and charging limits (also part of the complaint). While that complaint is one I can deal with (not judging anyone- I understand those who might be upset), the technical aspect is of more concern to me personally: On a technical level the GPU is reportedly drawing 20 watts of energy in this condition. The result of this is reported as heat and noise (the complaint). The issue being reported seems to be that using one or more external displays may cause the 16's discrete GPU to go to maximum power. I have no personal experience so please take all of this with a big grain of salt but I've come across complaints regarding using a 16РІР‚Сњ MBP and one or more external displays.
