A faculty has purchased the new MacBook along with the USB C multiport adapter <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MJ1K2AM/A/usb-c-digital-av-multiport-adapter> :
This adapter allows you to mirror your MacBook display to your HDMI-enabled > TV or display in up to 1080p at 60Hz or UHD (3840x2160) at 30Hz. While she wants a high resolution display (greater or equal to 2560x1440) at 24", I know she does not want to be scrolling documents and dragging windows at 30Hz for very long. What I cannot find out from the tech specs and from Apple support is whether this MacBook or any other can drive high res monitors at greater frequencies when the lid is closed. I know the new MacBook and adapter are unique, but can anyone with a recent MacBook comment on whether external displays can be driven at higher frequencies (not resolutions) in closed-clamshell mode <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201834>?
