AMD GPU drawing power while using Intel GPU
Dear all, I am one of the many that every time I need to buy a new Mac notebook fall in the loop of 13 vs 15 debate. This time I went for the 15.

15" battery life, 16GB/560X vs 32GB/555X?
I have a question regarding these two. If I understand correctly Apple put in a bigger battery in the 2018 15" to handle DDR4 RAM. So would 32GB use less or more power vs going with 16GB and potentially maxing it out and using swap memory? I have a choice between two refurb models, 16GB/560X...- FrostyF
