Do you notice a difference between 4k60 vs 4k30 in normal desktop usage?
I just found out my MB can just do 4k30. Would be a hassle for me to go to my parents to get the old r7 370 and put it in. So I'm wondering if that's worth ...

Oh yes, most definitely. At 4K30 things are laggy and jittery

4K30 is fine for productivity work and light media.
- Data Entry
- Office Suite
- Spreadsheet / Computation
- Application Work
- Emails & Internet Browsing
- Streaming Videos (Light Media)
Most YouTube videos are roughly 30 fps, so it manages fine there too.
I wouldn't game on this screen, and I'd set the Windows GUI to max performance and only enable 'smooth scrolling' and 'smooth fonts'.

Assuming you're using a large 4K display yes absolutely, 30hz would be a headache. I even notice a huge difference now in normal desktop usage between 60hz and 120hz though 60hz is good enough most of the time.
