We're on the same page. I, too, value USB ports and SD readers. I have a DSLR, and a printer, and an iPhone. It's not my preference to remove these things. It's my preference that Apple create new options, like an incredibly thin and light laptop. It's not my preference that it's only 12". Where's my 15" version?
But yeah, nothing wrong with saying wants and chatting. This is why we're here. I Was simply responding to some people who get super carried away, for example stating that Apple's core reason for removing ports and introducing USB-C was the profit of removing internal components, as if creating this starting vision of the essential laptop has nothing to do with it, and dismissing the fact that there is a clear segment of Mac buyers that want an essential laptop.
That, to me, is creating its own reality in order to spin an Us vs Them debate (Apple vs Sensible people). In other words, trolling.
Also, I think we can all rejoice when Apple makes the Air retina.
