    Redmond Pie has positive MacBook Pro article

    Kind of odd when a site originally focussed around Microsoft posts a more positive slant on the MacBook Pro than the MacRumors site - it's also like Kim knows his readers and forum and just enjoys stoking them up for clicks and visits...

    15" MacBook Pro, mid 2014: running 4k in scaled mode

    I have a 15" MacBook Pro, mid 2014, with the Intel Iris Pro card. I'm thinking about getting a 4k external monitor, which I would run in the scaled resolution of 3008 x 1692 (6016 x 3384).

    What MBP should I get?
