    MBP 13 TB with 2:50 battery life

    Alright, so after reading all the fuzz around the lack of strong battery life, especially on the 13 TB model, I decided to go and check by myself in store. Surprisingly not a lot of people where on the computers and I managed to do a test on two 13" TB models (didn't check the exact spec...

    So, I need to travel everyday with my 15 inch and I'm getting pretty tired of it, it's too damn heavy! I was thinking of replacing it with the new top of the line 13 inch (3.3GHz i7, 16GB RAM).

    I haven't seen any movement on my order and no charge on the CC yet. Did anyone else with the same delivery date saw some movement on their order yet? It'd be great if others could post updates about their orders with the Nov 23-30 delivery date in here. :)

    Hi there. Right now I own an early 2015 500 GB MacBook.
