I'm fine with the new ports[1]. I even found an ok hub[2]. I'm not fine with the Touch Bar or the horrible arrow keys, but I guess I'll live. I'm also not fine with the price increases.
What I want from a Pro machine, is standard, expandable memory and storage. I would have been an amazing cheerleader
if I could put in more RAM[3] and a bigger M.2 drive.
If that means that its not quite as thin, then all good. Thin isn't my first Pro item.
1) I'm not as fine on the iPhone since obsoleting my headphones was really not acceptable for a proprietary connector (Lightning) instead of a standard (USB-C). Finding a dongle that allows listening and charging is not cool.
