dedicated gpu

I'm curious if the A1398 2013 - 2014 15" MacBook Pros can drive an external 4k display at 60Hz over thunderbolt DisplayPort using the integrated GPU. It's working great for me but it's making me use the dedicated GPU. If I force the integrated GPU using gfxStatus, the external display remains...

I've been thinking about getting a used MacBook Pro. I'd like a model made between mid 2010 and 2015, but it seems a number of them have GPUs that will give out over time. From what I already know, it seems like 2012 pre-retina models are good, and pretty much anything after mid 2013 is okay...

Hi everyone, I have 2016 tMBP 15" 2.9 / 16G / 1TB / 460, and I have been using it for around 4 days. Unlikely most here, I have no problems with my battery life. I'm getting 7-10 hours as long as integrated graphics are kept on. Given this is my first Mac, I am quite impressed coming from 1-3...
