I'm debating on getting either a baseline rMBP with Iris Pro, or a maxed out 21.5 inch iMac for streaming. I can stream already from my older rMBP, but looking to upgrade for RAM purposes for video editing. Iris Pro seems to handle editing very well, and even while gaming on my Intel HD 4000 graphics I can achieve medium-high graphics in LoL cept shadows. I'll probably stream on low-med anyways, so does anyone know if Iris Pro could handle streaming LoL at around 2000-2500 with an external monitor hooked up as well? Iris seems to be around the level of the 650m from last year. I know gaming is still slightly harder for integrated still over dGPU, but if i'm on low-med...dont think it'd be too bad. Has anyone possibly tried this out on their system?

Only thing I'm really worried about is constantly streaming from a laptop. Having said that, streaming at 2500 with an external monitor and LoL on low graphics at 1080p, I could still barely hear the fans running. Not too bad, and with Iris Pro it may run even cooler than a dGPU.....or should I just get an iMac for streaming? BTW Windows or PC not an option.
