    macbook pro 2015 15 with no discreet graphic card 4k support

    I am little frustrated by lack of post on this topic. Does or can this laptop do 4k monitor at 60hz? Based on my research, it can handle single 4k monitor. Is this true? Can it handle more than one? Is there any size limit? for an example, can it handle 4k 32 monitor at 60 hz? Do you have any...

    I got an iPhone 6s from the bad battery batch

    But I'm seeing no problems with it? If I go into Apple's website and put my serial into the page addressing the ''Unexpected Shutdown Issues for the iPhone 6s'', a message saying that my device is eligible for battery replacement comes up as per the attachment. However, even though I only bought...

    I love my MBP but..... (does the 2015 models have the same GPU issues that the 2011 does?)

    Finally upgraded my ageing MacBook Air mid-2011 to a brand new rMBP 2015 15", the higher-end 2.5ghz model with AMD discrete graphics (gave up on waiting for the 2016 rMBP refresh/redesign and have always been a bit circumspect about buying first-generation new models anyway).
