OMG.
Homer Simpson made a car, now he makes a new MacBook Pro.
This is not looking good folks.

Let's be real, the CF is much more preferred. The cards are faster, more reliable, SD is for having a JPEG backup.
Microsoft says the competition for the SB is the MBP, they did that in their presentation, and that their stuff is 2x faster than the MBP.
I would say yes, since it's hard to miss an SD card sticking half way out of my laptop.Am I the only one who never uses the SD card slot? I prefer to connect my cameras via USB. If I take the SD card out, I forget I've removed it, then I take my camera somewhere and realize there's no card, and start crying...
It's just easier to use a USB cable (for me)
Yea but now you wont be able to connect it through USB either,Am I the only one who never uses the SD card slot? I prefer to connect my cameras via USB. If I take the SD card out, I forget I've removed it, then I take my camera somewhere and realize there's no card, and start crying...

That might be acceptable if your camera has USB 3.0... but I don't think that's the case for most cameras.
Transferring a 64GB card full of RAW photos or HD or 4K video over USB 2.0 would be painful.
I would consider a 2015 at closeout prices if this comes to pass as described here. Or, more likely, I'd just hold onto my 2013 until it dies and see where we are then.
Shares a single key with the down arrow, I would presume. Not very "Pro" for a number of tasks. Let's hope I'm wrong.
Anyone have an alternative to this mess? http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MJ1M2AM/A/usb-c-to-usb-adapter
The fact that you are still using DVI in 2016 is your problem, not Apple's.
For all the other stuff you mentioned, there are a plethora of 3rd party USB-C hubs that have all those ports for reasonable prices. USB-C is the future and I am happy Apple is not afraid to rip off the band-aid. That's how progress happens.
I can't find any USB-C to display port adapters anywhere. I would need 2 right out of the gate to run my 2 displays.
I agree. For as much as I hate the removal of the 3.5mm, I love the idea of having ports that do proper power and data transfer. Things that sit on my desk generally are fine to dongle. It's the mobile part that concerns me. I imagine we'll see lots of Boxy A -> C and B -> C cheap cables in the near future, and that legitimises the investment into USB devices.
That is not the case with dropping the 3.5, however...
Please Apple kill off the horrible lightning cable and use USB-C instead. If it's good enough for a laptop it's good enough for the iPhone.
I MIGHT save up for this if they can give it proper internals too. Better dGPU and newest Intel processors with DDR4 support.

It's the same arrow layout as my 2009... so I'm not sure what you're expecting. Only my wired numpad keyboard has full sized arrows.
4 USB-C. Yes. Yes. Yes. (And I guess, yes one more time so the last port doesn't feel left out.) I wonder if these are all Thunderbolt equipped or just two of the four. And, same curiosity about power.
I've been waiting for the "one port to rule them all" since the first Thunderbolt equipped Macs were launched so this is super exciting. And I hadn't actually figured power would be included back then, so this is even cooler.
Also: this isn't just about thinner, it's about having a single port that works for everything. And I already see the typical whining about thinness and the lack of other ports. The writing was on the wall with the MacBook. (Same is true for MagSafe.) Deal with it. This is not a surprise. The best thing Apple can got is go full on USB-C right now. Why? It will increase the availability if USB-C accessories because manufacturers can't say, "I'll just build for older USB." Wanna sell to Mac users? Time to make USB-C devices. USB-C is the connection of the near future for EVERYTHING. This is a good thing.
Admittedly, I'm actually going to miss the SD card slot. That's something I tend to use when away from my desk. I suspect photographers are going to be particularly annoyed about this, however I'd rather that space went to more battery anyway.
Looks like the trackpad is bigger (awesome).
My biggest concern is going to be a lack of available adapters at launch. I have a Thunderbolt to ethernet adapter, Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter, and two Thunderbolt docks (one at home and another at the office). In a perfect world, I'd like to keep using them (so, an adapter for my adapters, heh).
Although, if there's a 5K Thunderbolt display... it might not matter.
I still don't understand how people are simultaneously annoyed by adapters but tend to be the same people who are fine with heavier, bulkier laptops.
PS: Apple, please include a dedicated GPU in the 13" model. (If they launch a 5K display with the current state of Intel's lack of support for 5K over a single stream, this is actually a possibility and it will absolutely rock.)

Sad thing is, the older, current Retina model never got a major refresh before the move to this new model. Now there's no option for a future MBP purchase. But if the current gen had gotten some new processors and a gfx bump, it might have been all some people were looking for.

The SD slot is a handy way of adding some drive space.
I think the up and down arrow take up one cutout like the current 13" MacBook Pro. However it also looks like now the left and right arrows are full size keys.
I also LOVE the fact that the 3.5mm jack is STILL ON the new MBP. Think about that... good enough for all of their laptops, but not the phone... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I keep reading about carrying dongles... If you need HDMI, don't you already carry an HDMI cable? Can't the dongle just travel with the cable? What am I missing here? The SD slot - that's another story...
