Can the new 2016 MacBook Pro 13" without Touch Bar drive a 4K display?
I currently have an old MacBook Pro 15" Retina from 2012, driving two monitors, a 24" 4K monitor and a 21.5" 1080p monitor.
This setup works, except for one catch - the 4k monitor refreshes at 30Hz, which makes it a bit laggy.
I was thinking of getting the new MacBook Pro 13" base model with 2 Thunderbolt/USB-C ports. Since I have 2 external monitors I figure I need the USB-C to Power + USB + USB-C adapter too.
Given I get these, will I be able to now drive my primary 4K display at 60Hz?
