Anybody try to stream 4K or HD YouTube or Netflix videos for an extended amount of time? How does the new MacBook handle it? Does it get hot? Do you see any stuttering or dropped frames as the load increases on the CPU/GPU?
FWIW, I tried out a 1.1 rMB by running full screen 4K videos at Beast Buy and there was a considerable amount of lag. I did not play with the resolution and the lag could be due to crappie WiFi or servers but i didn't have the time for a ping or trouble shooting. I'm thinking about getting a 1.3 BTO and am still undecided....
It probably was a wifi issue. I have 120 Mbps & 4k streaming for me was flawless. Looks crazy good

I have heard the 1.3 is REALLY good.
There's a youtube video that shows gaming on it, and it is very very smooth.
If i bought one I'd get the 1.3 b/c the performance is very respectable.
