Hello,
I am planning to replace my Mid 2011 27-inch iMac with a laptop + external display for more portability.
Current setup is: 2.7GHz quad-core i5 / 8GB / 1TB HDD / AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512MB.
I would mainly use it for simple everyday tasks like checking email, web browsing, listening to music etc.
And occasionally for playing some light games (e.g. Limbo, Thimbleweed Park, Broken Age).
Also I am going to start working with Photoshop quite a bit in the near future.
Would a 13" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar do the trick ?
Was thinking about this configuration: 2.9GHz dual-core i5 / 16GB / 512GB SSD / Iris Graphics 550.
Or would the 15" version with i7 2.6GHz + Radeon Pro 460 be a safer bet for my needs ?
Btw as someone tried the USB-C to DisplayPort cable by Google ? https://store.google.com/gb/product/usb_type_c_to_displayport_cable?hl=en-GB
Is there a better way to connect the MacBook to an external 4K monitor @60Hz ?
Monitor going to be Dell P2415Q.
Many thanks in advance for your help
