only type C ports which requires many adapters/ dongles.

doesn't this make the word - portable - redundant? ... just a thought

2016 Pro users - you all don't mind carrying adapters/ dongles around?
Portability affected?

2015 Macbook (12 inch) users here to share experience, i dont bring dongles around even to college/Starbucks. biggrin.gif unless presentation. Most of the time, Dongles at home (USB adapter). Seriously its not really a big deal  smile.gif

"the only thing i will connect my lappy to is external harddisk.

other than that i don't see why i need to connect my lappy to other devices, not that i'm gonna charge my phone from lappy"

thanks for replies. still undecided about MacBook Pro 2015 or 2016. all these USB-C would mean extra money to buy dongles and adapters blink.gif

the new Pro costs a bomb!! then spend extra for the adapters ..hmm .. which the 2015 would not need ..oh web

around 5 to 6hours only.
13" with touch bar, 512gb ssd, 16gb ram.
only used it to watch drama with vlc, on and off internet browsing.
updated to latest mac os.

i guess apple will do something on it in near future as the complaints are getting serious.

*editted, forgot to add that 50% brightness 50% sound volume.

Not great for what seems like light usage.

This battery issue should not be there. Hope there's a fix.
