I do DevOps. I don't need a powerful rig, but it does need to be light as I'm married to my macbook air (it does not leave my side when I'm on my on-call rotations).

If the air is truly being killed off, I'd probably go buy another one or two refurbed to keep as spares for the next 5-10 years.

What would make that setup superior for you to a Skylake MacBook with another USB-C port or two?

I have dual Thunderbolt displays at home for my MBA. Is there a proper USB-C->Thunderbolt adapter yet?

Apple sells an adapter, I believe.

The latest version of Thunderbolt is using the USB-C connector (and is compatible with it), so I assume next generation of Apple laptops will only have these ports.
