As the title says really, just want to compare it to my current figure. I've tried to search the web but could only find Apple's official specs which is in Watt hours so not comparable to mAh. Thanks.

Watt hours is not comparable to mAh. The fact is mAh is not comparable to mAh. Outside of very specific case (USB batteries and devices that charge from USB).

The answer you are looking for is 4781 mAh.

Be weary with your comparisons though. Watt hours factors in voltage, mAh does not. So you can NOT compare mAh hours from a MBP to an iPad because they both have a different nominal voltage.

iPad 5 gen has a ~8700 mAh battery - 32.5 wH
2016 13" MBP has a 4781 mAh battery - 54.5 wH

Look at the mAh the iPad looks like it has a bigger battery. However the reality is its significantly smaller (reflected by the wH). The reason is because the iPad has a nominal voltage of 3.7 vdc and the MBP has a nominal voltage of 11.4 vdc.
