So yeah...looks nice except it dies not charge your MacBook. So supposed you have plugged in all your external devices, HDD etc and your MacBook runs out of juice, then we will just have to unplugged the entire setup so we could use the solitary USB-C port to charged up the computer, then plugged the rest back in again? We don't have enough peripherals that runs on Bluetooth or WiFi to live with a single port, and our external SSD drive won't run at full speed wirelessly.
IMO Apple did indeed made a mis-step with this MacBook. Since they can now miniaturised the logic board and adapt battery to fit the form, I see them upgrading the MacBookAir line instead and call time on this. Was thinking about buying this so I don't have to lug my MBP 15 around but I know I will ended up getting frustrated due to the availability of only one port. How hard is it to get a second USB-C port? and upgrade the FaceTime camera to 1.3MP?
That being said, I might just get this for my OPT :-)
