The slim aluminum battery pack also has a traditional USB port that can provide multiple charges to iPhones, iPads, and other USB devices.
USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables are included for charging the GoPower itself. A four-LED status indicator lets users know the power level of the battery pack based on 25 percent, 50 percent, 75 percent, and 100 percent intervals.
Kanex has also included a built-in circuit protection board with priority charging detection technology that enables pass-through charging to plugged in devices when the battery pack itself is plugged into a power source.
The battery pack's USB-C output is 5V at 3 Amps, while its USB output is 5V at 2.4 Amps.

While the new iPad mini has an OLED display, the device does not support ProMotion, meaning the display's refresh rate is limited to 60Hz instead of 120Hz.
ProMotion support would have allowed for the iPad mini's refresh rate to automatically adjust from 10Hz to 120Hz depending on the content being displayed, but evidently Apple has kept the feature exclusive to the iPad Pro among iPad...

I'm not really seeing a benefit over Anker's PowerCore+ ('http://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-High-Capacity-External-VoltageBoost/dp/B014ZO46LK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1464196312&sr=8-4&keywords=anker+usb+c'), which has more capacity and isn't much lager. Anker products have treated me very well in the past, and are excellent quality.
Given that the new MacBook is the lightest laptop Apple has produced—anywhere from less than half to less than a third of the weight of the original MagSafe-equipped computers—it seems like this would be the easiest to pull off of a desk by mistakenly tripping on the power cord. Yet it's the first laptop in a decade Apple has made without a magnetic connector of any kind.
I understand that they need to use that one USB port for everything, so magnetism would be problematic, but it still irks me.
Perhaps MagSafe would not work well because of the light weight. iPads have never had them, for instance.
Anker makes a higher capacity battery that's a lot cheaper: http://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-High-Capacity-External-VoltageBoost/dp/B014ZO46LK/
beyond that, why would you want a USB-C connection if the charging cable for a MacBook is USB->USB-C? they make even higher capacity battery that can charge a MacBook 3x.
