This generation of MB hardware generally seems to have issues from trivial through severe. I purchased my fiance one of the new Macbooks for school along with one of the USB-C dongles to allow her to connect to an external monitor.

She constantly has flickering issues when it's connected without a reboot after connecting. It seems to be an unacknowledged issues with video and the macbook, which was attempted to be solved via a visit with Apple where the replaced the dongle to no effect.

The machine is fantastic in terms of weight, screen, and layout. I don't really mind the single USB-C and would love to have one, but the hardware issues have made me decided to sit this generation out and wait for what's next.
