I’m looking to buy the refreshed base model 13” MBP with 16gb of ram and 256 storage.

I currently run 2 x 40” 4K monitors with my PC but I want to go back to Mac and ideally want to still use my 2 screens. Can anyone tell me if the base conditions system will run 2 4K monitors fine for basic tasks. Web browsing and phot editing .etc?

Thanks

assume it would be just fine, I do the same with a much less specked PC at the moment...

I can't speak to the latest stuff but I'd recommend going with a dGPU if you can. I'm running a 4K off my 2014 with Intel Integrated and it lags. I assume that this is due to memory bandwidth issues with iGPUs. I do not have these issues with my 2015 with dGPU - it has dedicated video RAM which is one other area to reduce memory bandwidth contention. The newer stuff is, of course, faster. But why not just go with the better option.

Do you have a dGPU on your PC?
