I've finally decided that I'm going to get one of the new MacBook Pros after being very pleasantly surprised during my first hands-on experience .

I have to find ways to adapt to having only 2 x USB Type-C connectors (no pun intended). What is USB-C anyway, you may ask? What is USB Type-C?

The screen is amazing, so is the Trackpad. The only negative would be the lack of SD card port. As a hobby photographer, I would really miss it, but then again I'm already used to a dongle that I use together w...
