I was wondering where to buy those marble/clear type of cover, anyone knows?

thanks!

I was eyeing on it or u2515h

maybe save abit more for 1440p!

btw noob question - you can charge your mbp 2016 using thunderbolt 3 / type c using monitor

can I do the same on thunderbolt 2?

13". Does it make much difference? I read both 15" and 13" can reach up to 10 hours.

This new macbook pro, first time ever battery performance isn't as good as previous models. Bit disappointed and not sure whether is it my unit.

Thanks!! but I dont think I'm able to hold out till March. It's for work so USB and SD Card needs to settle first. Sigh why did I let myself into the dongle life.

Usually about 8 hrs on the 13 inch touch bar, non touch bar base spec can reach 10 hrs since the battery is bigger and the cpu is 18w. How bright is ur screen??

And also 5-6 hrs just browsing web is a bit low is brightness is 50% try the latest beta or install instat to c how much power everything is using.

What browser are you using ?
Last time also i have same problem if i use Chrome (especially when opening gmail and leave it there) , it somehow drain my battery out very fast and CPU FAN is on, macbook body hot.

Since i switch back to safari and i don't have such issue anymore.
Battery 100% use it from 9am and at 6pm still remain 25%. (macbook pro 2016 15inch)

If you frequent hear your macbook fan is running you might need to suspect the app such as , browser advertisement movie window is opened but didn't realise, some app keep reloading etc.

I am using my MBP 2015 as temporary dongle to airdrop everything i needed.

We didn't get upgraded to Jan delivery ah? Ah well.. oKies, will just have to wait

I only saw upgrade from Mar to Feb delivery. Never seen Jan delivery in their website.

Lol in anycase, it's already Jan.. will just wait lah. How are you enjoying your MBP?

So far so good. Cannot really feel the difference of speed between model 2015 and 2016. One thing surprise me is I rarely see glitch or bug on this new MBP. Tot new model there might be some software optimisation needed.

Now just patiently waiting for the new dongle to come in order to save the hassle of airdropping every single file that I need to transfer.

What about u? Satisfy with the battery performance? Haha

Using chrome. All my settings, didn't change. Just out of the box, cause wanted to gauge battery life, performance and etc.

I do that for iPhones as well. Later only I will tweak and fine tune to what I need.

Probably now is due to using chrome the battery killer I guess. Let me see use Safari any difference.

Thanks both. Other forums too pro apple or anti. Asking honest question like this, get two extremes views.

Well think of this way battery isn't as good as previous model but it charges much faster so I don't really mind.
