My flash drives will be a minor pain in the rear, but the disks I use more often (4TB+ externals) just take a C-to-B cable and I'm done.

I don't think this is going to be as big a deal as people say. Honestly, the biggest beef I have is removing the SD card slot, because I do a lot of photo/video work.

I think it depends on the type of user you are. If you're a true "mobile user", it's probably not a big deal, because you put a value on mobility over other stuff.

If you treat your laptop as a "portable desktop", it can get annoying. The ability to not have dongles for everything is one less thing to think about. Yes, it's not the end of the world to have dongles, but if you're used to not needing dongles, being forced to use them is going to make you unhappy.

I'm not really a "mobile user". But I'll be happy to be able to run my entire desk off of one plug rather than the five (power, two monitors, two USB, one of which is a hub) that are currently plugged into my 15" MBP.
