Exactly. A "Pro" laptop for use by "Pro"fessionals needs I/O like gig-e, USB3, USBC, HDMI, Thunderbolt, SD reader and an excellent DAC for the headphone jack. And I still miss the 17" macbook pro :(
I miss the days where there was a separate line for consumers/professionals. A lineup of slightly thicker laptops with I/O for days and a lineup of thin-light for students and the light would be ideal.
But instead we'll get touchbar 2.0. yee yee.
