Re: New Macbook Pros?

Hi all, I have had a chance to sort of live with USB-c using the first 12" MacBook which was going fairly cheaply for the base model when the new one came out (Officeworks). I have three different dongles, which all work without added power if you only use one external,drive, but need power
