Am I the only one bothered by the lack of an SD card slot? So now when traveling I have to carry and extra adapter to upload pics from my DSLR? That sucks. I love Apple, but the whole trend of eliminating features still widely in use really irritates me!

(Still trying to find a decent app to replace the "digital picture frame" feature originally built into iPads. Would it have killed them to leave it there?)
 
What I may need to hear before I buy: "We have improved the feel of the butterfly keyboard." The features are clearly impressive. Plus this might be the model to get if you want the last model with a headphone jack.
There isn't a chance it will include a headphone jack. If you want headphone jacks you buy the old models. The latest model will be what apple sees for the future several years not what it has done in the past several. If they weren't ready to pull the plug on the headphone jack they wouldn't have pulled it on the iPhone which is far more popular than MacBook Pros.
 
Remember the Lenovo X1 second edition... hopefully apple's implementation is a lot better
 
That looks like the MBP is indeed getting that awful butterfly keyboard. I had so hoped it would get the one they used in the Magic Keyboard...this might actually be a big turn-off for me...and I NEED a new macbook... :(

Just get a 2015 on the cheap, if the keyboard's that much of a deal breaker. They're still solid, capable computers.

That's a bizarre thing to say. Every leak says it'll have a headphone port.

The overwhelming bulk of rumors suggest this computer has a headphone jack. We'll see.

No, you are no the 'only' one. Any DSLR/Mirrorless camera owner will be bothered but overall the number of us is relatively small and apple isn't afraid of having people use adapters based on past experience. So why its not certain they will get rid of it, I say there is a high chance, and they will instead sell an adapter with an SD card port.
 
I really hope it has haptic feedback like the trackpad. Already having the "esc" key shifted over half a key is going to be annoying.
