I have a 2015 13" MacBook Pro, and am considering buying a 3840x2160
Dell P2415Q
as an external display in clamshell mode. Apple states the laptop supports that resolution, but I'm apprehensive about the Intel Iris Graphics 6100 smoothly pushing 8.2 million pixels. I don't do anything video intensive on my MacBook, unless you count playing Hearthstone. Should I be okay or is it more realistic to buy a 2560x1440 monitor instead?

What's the most dead-simple way to have a local backup for my 128GB MacBook Pro? An external Thunderbolt hard drive + Carbon Copy Cloner? If so, is it worth it to get an SSD vice regular HD? Also will a 128GB eternal suffice or will I have to get a 256 for some reason?

Any idea what kind of dGPU the next MBPs will have? With Apple's complete lack of emphasis on discrete graphics it will probably only be an incremental upgrade to the current AMD card right?

Is there a site that's the equivalent of Swappa for Mac hardware? I'm looking to sell a 2015 MBP with as little hassle as possible.

Can anyone recommend a long-form article that talks about ARM architecture and it's advantages & disadvantages vs. x86?
