I have a 2014 MacBook Pro 13" low end model and it's working pretty well for what I use it for, but I for sure want it to do more. I plan on getting a 4K monitor and I'd really like to get two so I could use it in clamshell mode, but my model doesn't support it. I'm considering a 13" high end model with a 16 GB RAM upgrade but will this work with two 4K monitors at 60 Hz? Would it be better to wait for Skylake processors to come out? I mainly use my computer for email, web surfing, Microsoft word/excel, but I also do a bit of photo editing and a lot of music editing and processing. I'm also considering the 15" but I just really don't like the form factor with the bigger screen

No experience myself with this but search the forums on here and see what others say about using the 13 inch with 2 4K screens I think the general consensus is that the IRIS graphics struggle to do this with much aplomb.
