I bought a 2016 13" MBP to use it on an external display. It only works well on 2.5K. Always consider the GPU nowadays.

- matthewmacleod 8y agoThat's strange. I use an early 2015 13" model which happily drives two external 4k displays simultaneously. I'm not running them high-DPI though – the performance there is noticeably worse.
- nik736 8y agoI have a 2017 13" and while it was working with a single 4k screen at 60 Hz, it simply isn't fun working on it since everything is laggy and stuttering.
- matthewmacleod 8y agoI guess that high dpi then as well? I found that wasn’t really nice to use because of the stuttering, but native 4K was much better. You need good eyesight though :)
- nik736 8y agoScaled down to 1440p yep. Native 4K is no option :D
- rado 8y agoOn scaling other than 2x, it's unusable, while the MBP mobile Radeon Pro is good enough. They should have included that at least.
- matthewmacleod 8y agoYeah, I was doing 2x4k plus the internal screen off of the MacBook with a 555, and it was totally fluid. I would have happily forked out for the Mini if it had that GPU; it seems like a bit of a strange decision for such an otherwise powerful machine!
