    Question for 2012 13/15 inch MacBook Pro owners. HEVC Video?

    I’m looking to get a pre-retina machine to stuff a bunch of storage in for some travel coming up. I’d like to watch 4K HEVC video from my 14 pro max in the photos app that I take. Does anyone have this combination? I’m wondering if the video can be previewed smoothly?

    2 Extended Displays on 15in Mid-2012 MBP
