I dont really need all those USB Port, the max I plan to connect is a USB mouse.
Though since it does not have USB C pass through, it draws power only from the USB-C Port. Will it be able to power an external HDD (one of the main reason I want a hub)
i the same but waiting for my mbp
did external hard drive work with this? like seagate portable?
Apple sells a Sandisk one for $50. Supports the crazy fast speeds too. It's what I purchased.
I prefer to spend a few bucks more and know everything will work perfectly.
.... I would wait a few minutes and save on the $$$
Different priorities.
I am just thinking of getting a USB 3 card reader and use it with the Aukey USB c to USB A 3.0 hub I am getting

I asked on their Amazon page, and some one replied it should....
I prefer to have the SD card reader built into the laptop and not look around for the SD card reader.

Just have more disposable money and a low tolerance for flaky devices.
And I am a student that has been saving for the new laptop from his part time job since january... Already dished out 1600 Euro for the laptopJust have more disposable money and a low tolerance for flaky devices.
want to save as much as i can on dongles and sleeve
Since I haven't read all previous pages, sorry if this has been discussed already.
A no-brainer for those of us wary of leaving MagSafe behind would be this:

But I've heard there are issues with power supply and third-party accessories. Still, they seem to directly aim it at new MBP users, and Griffin is a reputable outfit that's been around a while.

From What i read, they can handle up to 59W of power, so its way under powered for MBPr 15 inch, but should work for 13 inch
Good grief, $40 just for a power cable? And it's not a Power+Data cable?
Apple really blew it by leaving off the old connectors. Yuck.
Then don't buy it. It isn't going to change and the reader is NEVER coming back.
Yeah, not cheap. But consider it 'insurance.' MagSafe has saved by Air at least a couple times when students come up after class and manage to entangle themselves in even the most carefully placed wires.
I have the 2015 MacBook Retina. I prefer it to this new MacBook. I'm not willing to replace all my accessories and start carrying dongles around again, like I did with MacBook Air.
Why are you here posting on a thread to talk about dongles? Just felt like trolling?
I think I'll go with this

and this
http://www.belkin.com/us/F2CU036/p/P-F2CU036/
Any objections against these? I don't need a big hub
Also, I hope they'll be sold a bit cheaper through Amazon or so. Any information on when they'll go on sale?

If you're going to pay that much, why not go for the Apple's version. If something goes wrong you could just bring it to any Apple Store.
You're right but I'll wait and see if they'll be sold cheaper. Otherwise, I should consider Apple's version
I bought a Belkin router years ago and they refused to accept the return when it broke after two weeks. Definitely don't buy from their store.
No, not at all. I think MacBook Pro buyers today should buy the "old" Retina model, and they will be very disappointed using a MacBook which offers nothing but USB Type-C connectivity.
