Macbook pro retina 13 mgx72 not fit for design?

Question

Design

I recently became the owner of a macbook pro retina 13 with 8gb ram.
Having looked at other laptops on the market, I did not find anything with at least a more or less normal ips screen for the same price.
I suddenly realized that this laptop is ideal for consuming content, but not for creating it.
Despite the fact that this is almost the only designer laptop in general, and in 99% of cases you will get an answer to the question of choice - take a retina, and there are two problems for me: illustrator will lag. I opened a simple A2 vector file and I have a slideshow while scrolling. I even installed el capitan, enabled gpu mode in cc 2015, installed CC 2013, and still the same lags (although it got a little better).
At the same time, next to me lies a dead samsung of 2011 with hdd and whose video card is not supported by illustrator at all, and the same file FLYS, God, it just flies.
Does anyone have similar problems? I'm just shocked because at work the 2012 mac mini pulls it all out easily. There are several topics on reddit about this, many illustrator lags even on imak 5k retina. (ps it seems that support in cc gpu already solves this problem).
2) Working in Photoshop is a pain. Work in 2x, turn on low res mode, and the best solution that in 99% of cases is to connect an external monitor! a great solution, but if I had a place to put an external monitor, then there would probably be a place to put the desktop and I would not buy a laptop.
Yes, of course, it is ideal for ui ios design and launching a very fashionable sketch, the harsh reality is that no one needs a sketch, but working in Photoshop with blurry fonts and photos is terrible.
I don’t know what to do, then through the pain and tears to look for crutches and wait until finally after 3 !!! adobe will make low-resolution emulation, and illustrator will optimize or sell it and take a powerful but creaking windows laptop? But for a month of googling, I still haven’t found something at least more or less normal up to $ 1300 with a non-creaking case and a normal ips screen.
upd. The problem was solved by reinstalling illustrator, oddly enough.

Answer 1

It's all about the buzzword: " Retina" , and this is neither more nor less, but already 2560x1600 pixels. I have the same resolution on a hefty designer NEC PA301W, with a diagonal of 30", which is connected to a MacPro with two xeons with 6 cores each and a top-end, at that time, and even now, not the weakest ATi 5770 video card and 32 gigs of RAM. All this economy it costs like a cast-iron bridge and is 10 times (100-1000) times more powerful than your macbook. But even it sometimes lags. And your old Samsung most likely has a matrix of about 1300 * 700, which is more than 4 times less, it's not surprising that everything flies there, despite the
age.As delirium, try installing Windows and compare.

Answer 2

Notebooks for design ? It's funny
. Usually, you buy a video card and connect it separately, and all the load goes to it.

Answer 3

If for design and budget for Apple, then I would buy a Mac mini and a monitor.

Answer 4

there is a SwitchResX program, turn off the retina, set the resolution to 2048 * 1280 or native 2560 * 1600
