You like that, and people like other things.

I hate on board ethernet, it's stupid, almost all of them have only one NIC and only 1Gbps, which is laughable in this day, much more in the 4 or 5 years a laptop usually lasts.

So... welcome TB 3.0 (which can be used for 40Gbps daisy chain networking), and 10GbE adapters someday or another.

Why would you need more than one NIC on a laptop?

Ethernet is ubiquitous in corporate. I'm yet to see an office with Thunderbird ports.

"Thunderbird"...
Haha I didn't even realize I did that. :-)
I'll welcome TB 3.0 ports, in addition to what I have. Expanded functionality is always nice.
