I have a 2014 Macbook Pro with Retina display. It can handle two external
monitors, one via a thunderbolt port and another on the HDMI port. The computer
is fast and never in the way with the i5 2.6 GHz processor, 8 gigs of ram and a
250 gig SSD drive. But I think I’ll still eventually replace my older iMac
desktop with an iMac 27 with the 5K Retina display. That’s a 5120 by 2880
monitor. Want.
Don't make the mistake of going to the Apple store to check out the 5K
iMac or you'll end up like me and actually buying one, possibly much
sooner than you intended.
It's _gorgeous_ by the way. I ordered the upgraded 4 GHz i7 processor
and more RAM, so I have 8 CPUs and 16 GB RAM. The Fusion drive goes
like stink. Bottlenecks begone!
But it cannot drive a second 5120 by 2880 monitor, sadly. So if I ever
add a dedicated editing display I'll have to settle for a more
plebeian unit. I'm okay with losing the 2nd monitor for now; the
Retinal display is wondrous to edit on and it's an excellent IPS
screen that calibrated perfectly.
Yeah, my goal is to have two high res displays, one horizontal, one
vertical.
I put the HP on my Linux box and finally got that sorted out, so I am if
not thrilled at least happy.
