Well it's begun, in the most teasing, annoying way possible 
Now all I need is the damn MacBook to arrive
As an aside, that should be all of the cables and adapters I need, I won't even be using them all of the time. Maybe it's just me but that little pile at £144 doesn't seem that bad to me. Feck it, it's only money
The only other thing I've bought for it is a USB 3 to USB-C cable for an external hard drive and that cost me a whole £1.

You're not going to double dongle for Ethernet are you?

The Belkin was actually the first one I added to the cart, then I thought better of it. It'll only be used once with the new MacBook for the initial TimeMachine backup.
Then I'm thinking of blowing the dust off an old Mac Mini I have to use as my media server, if I get rid of my iMac. The old Mac Mini has a knackered Ethernet port, so the new adapter will get shifted over to that. No point buying two adapters.
Good thinking! I got rid of my iMac as well. Really loving the MacBook Pro. I have a 2012 Mac mini setup as a server and plex server. The best thing about it is the Time Machine service which allows everything in your house to get backed up without thinking much about it..love that.
I had the Space Gray model for a day and it really seemed to pick up finger prints and look dirty quicker than the silver. I had to replace it the following day due to a power problem and picked the silver instead. Definitely stays nicer looking in my opinion and it just seems more "classic Apple" to me.
Yeah I like the silver a lot.
TBH, if SG was the color Apple produced for the last many years, and silver was the new option, I think many would like the silver more haha.
If I got the 2016 MBP, I would undoubtedly get the ntMBP silver.
