I have a 2014 MBP paired with a 27" Thunderbolt Display and Apple 30" Cinema Display. I plan to upgrade to a 16" MBP and XDR Display. I mostly use it for development with Xcode. I would be adding an OWC ThunderFlex TB3 RAID.
How well does the 16" support the XDR? I plan to keep one of my current monitors and add the XDR. I am concerned about all the reports of heat and fan noise just by attaching the XDR to the 16" MBP.
Thoughts?
Any thoughts too on a revision to the 16" in the next 6 weeks that might improve the situation?
Would the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M be better than the 5500M to handle the XDR even if I am mostly using Xcode with some full screen video playback from QuickTime Player?
