Not really. I'd rather take that than a crappier keyboard and even smaller battery, both of which seem to be in store for the next model.

I'm pretty sure they'll implement external gpu support. Just think about it as a huge dongle and you'll see why Apple would be head over heels about it.

I'd love something like that although I'd probably like to see at least two USB-C. Maybe swap out one of the thunderbolts if you absolutely have to. Still, I'm pretty sure that they'll just go for all usb-c and thin out half the battery and put in the 12" macbook's useless keyboard and call that "pro" for "extreme gamers" (which seems to mean 'pro' for Apple

).
It'd be lovely if they kept on doing what they have been so good at all these years: excellent keyboards, truly outstanding touchscreens. The user experience has been stellar until that 12 inch piece of ****. That dropped it to the level of zenbooks or possibly below them. Bought one of those years ago, found it's completely useless. Couldn't get rid of it even for free.

I don't care about losing memory/disk upgradeability if it gives slimmer computer - even more so if it's more rugged, more moisture resistant and whatever else. I can live without it, though. What I do care about is getting a computer I can use. It's not really happening with the current battery life. Even less so if they thin out even more of the battery. Getting 1 hour more battery life gets me nowhere. Give me a machine that can actually give me that 12-14 hours of REAL LIFE use. Something other than watching por.. err, movies or something useless like that. I don't need gaming performance. I need to be able to rely on my machine even if I happen to edit a photo or two or work on music on the road. I'm so sick and tired of carrying a charger everywhere and plugging in every possibility I get - and having to pick my working location based on the availability of power sockets.
