Anyone tried monitoring the battery life for TB version (13" or 15")? There are reports of users getting only 4-5 hours on non-intensive tasks.

Yup it's the Radtech ScreenSavrz, was bought about 1 year back so probably made for the retina 15" rather than 15" TB.

Doesn't obstruct the lid from closing though.

Where can we get the RadTech Screensavrz locally?

I have something similar, given free when I ordered the Healing Shield for my iPad. It's called Cover Clean - Keyboard Cover & Cleaner. Just the right fit for my MBP 15 Retina, works well except it's a little tattered now.

How's the battery life of the new Macbook Pro thus far? Would love to hear from users here. Seems to be quite mixed overseas.

I bought mine from MacShop couples of months ago.

I was told they shifted to a new premise; good to google and call to confirm the new address.

Would be lucky to reach 10 hrs... Logically it cannot be as good as the non-touch bar model. The Touch Bar model has more power hungry CPU, needs to power the Touch Bar, and yet the battery is smaller! Amazing that Apple could claim the same 10 hrs.

Pre-order simi? Not ready stock meh.

My 13" screeensavr has been in use for coming to 7 years. Still as good as new.
