One type of port that requires most professionals to buy a bunch of dongles. That's not more useful, that's a hassle.

Macbooks have had available SSD's for awhile.

When it comes down to it, a bunch of sacrifices were made to make this Macbook thinner, which simply is of very little benefit to professional users. It's nice, but not when it comes at the expense of performance and usability.

It's double the speed of last year's SSD. Competitors' computers with the same speed hard drives will be upgraded more easily, but they aren't any cheaper right now.

While ridiculous that Apple doesn't ease the transition with more included cables, my house is full of different types of monitor cables, hard drive cables, and iOS device cables that seemed to change every two years. At least now I might get a decade out of the next generation of them.
