I am no computer genius, but this seems like a decent machine. Are there settings I can change to help with the heat/fan?
Should I consider a PC gaming laptop? If so, which one?
Thank you.

My MacBook is very similar to what you have. MacBook Pro 16 inch 2019. Mine is a Core i9 and the Graphics is Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB. Same memory as yours.
I have had more problems in just a few weeks with OOTP22 than I have ever had with any OOTP version (I have purchased annually since OOTP7). I've owned MacBooks for the last 5 OOTP versions (maybe 6), and OOTP21 worked fine on the MacBook I currently have. I updated to Big Sur OS11, which corrected several earlier problems I was having with OOTP22, but I still have issues with window sizing and the stadium construction kit (no Save Ballpark button) that are unresolved.
It's been quite frustrating. As you mentioned, I'm also not overly tech savvy, and I feel that has become more and more important as OOTP has evolved through the years (and, at an advanced age - old geezer - I'm not going to become much more proficient). These first weeks of 22 have been quite frustrating. I'm really hoping the developers take a close look at OOTP's interaction with Macs, because I'm not going back to PCs anytime soon - and don't feel I should need to just to be able to use OOTP.
