Hey guys,
I just wanted to share my opinion as a photographer using the MacBook Pro 2016 15" maxed out together with the LG Ultrafine 5K.
The monitor is so great but I'm not happy at all with the performance I get when I use Lightroom. Not to mention how hot the MacBook Pro gets 2 minutes later.
I always need to scale down the resolution with SwitchResX to 2560x1400 to have fluid performance when using this program.
I don't have many problems using Photoshop except when I need to use Color Effex Pro which is insanely slow when showing previews.
It looks like the Graphics of the MacBook Pro are not there yet to push such big resolutions for more intensive tasks.
What do you think? Do you have such problems with the 2017 model or other programs?
