I have a maxed-out, 2016 13-in MacBook pro. Works great as a laptop, but when I plug it into my 27-in 4K display, the computer's integrated Intel Iris Graphics 540 struggles, and there are visible stutters and hiccups in the OS UI. Is being able to power a single external 27-in monitor really such a crazy use case? IMHO, at the price I paid for this laptop, an external monitor should be Mickey Mouse shit.
If I've plugged in my drawing tablet and have AutoDesk Sketchbook open...all bets are off. The lag is 3 to 4 seconds behind the pen. Even with no monitor, any typical 3D game from the past 5 years would struggle to have a good framerate.
My 2015 MBP had a discrete graphics card and doesn't have any problems with the monitor or drawing tablet.
Who on earth is paying just under $3k for a laptop to use web browsers and "simple programs"?
