I went from a 2015 MBP13 to a 2016 MBP15 TB. It is shorter, especially if you have the brightness cranked up. If you cut the screen down to 1/3-1/2 brightness I'd say it is close. I have a pretty variable power usage though. I've also been running a couple VMs lately that have been eating power. I use chrome most of the time so that eats power as well. All told I can probably get 5-7 hours out of it depending on the day. The need to plug it in and out frequently really makes me miss the magsafe jack. Whoever made that call should get fired. Think there is a market for high end laptops for developers that are maybe 30% more expensive than a macbook? Looking at System76 and Dell they are all bricks. The Razer Blade Pro is probably the closest thing. Even that is huge and heavy.
