Add an eGPU (Razor Core X?), some discs via Thunderbolt and a nice screen and it will eat deeply into iMac and MacPro customers providing upgradability via the peripherals without the price of an internal screen and touchbar (hopefully, I am very curious about the price of the 6-core i7 with 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD, and 10gigE model.

Too bad the thunderbolt is not running over a fiber connection. That would have been a better upgrade and made the external devices, GPU etc. even better.

Not really; 40 Gbps fiber is the same speed as 40 Gbps copper and fiber can't carry power.
