JK2E4 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Would be helpful if we know more details about your MacBook Pro like which year is it from? Is it Intel based or Mac Silicon? This will allow us to better advise.

MacBook Pro 13" (Early 2015), MacOS Monterey 12.7.4, Processor 3.1GHz Dual Core Intel Core i7, Memory 16GB DDR3, Graphics Intel Iris Graphics 6100. 2. MacBook Pro 14" (2021), MacOS Sonoma 14.3.1, Apple M1 Pro, Memory 16GB. Thanks for your inputs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacBook Pro 13" support up to 4K resolution at 30Hz (via HDMI/Thunderbolt) only if I'm not wrong. If you're looking to drive the Apple Display, I think it's better to go for the MacBook Pro 14". But bear in mind, HDMI goes up to 4K resolution at 60Hz. So, you may need to use Thunderbolt for up to 6K resolution at 60Hz. Lastly, this is my understanding, so there could be mistakes.
