Wrong all around. Thunderbolt is a superset of HDMI. Thunderbolt is ALSO a superset of miniDP.
Mac laptops haven't had Ethernet for many, many years, except via the Thunderbolt or USB adapters, both of which will still be possible on this machine, too.
Yes, the SD card reader was left out.
Wrong on USB ports; it's absurd to suggest that "100 out of 100" keyboards and mice plug into USB-A. Most such products these days are, in fact, wireless, and those which aren't can simply use a very very cheap USB-A to USB-C adapter.
- EugeneOZ 10y agoand lack of ethernet port was never an "awesome feature", but reason for jokes about adapters for "just $99".

- PhantomGremlin 10y agoMac laptops haven't had Ethernet for many, many years That's true, but only if by "many years" you really meant "yesterday". The following laptop was still available for order from Apple's website until yesterday's announcements: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i5-2.5-13-mid-2012-unibody-usb3-specs.html http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macb... Connectivity includes AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 4.0, Gigabit Ethernet, a Firewire "800" port, two USB 3.0 ports, a "Thunderbolt" port, audio in/out, and an SDXC card slot.
- jeeva 10y agoJust to point out that assuming "most wireless HID devices are Bluetooth" is likely incorrect - a huge amount of the devices I see come with a dongle of some kind, that plugs into... (you guessed it) USB A sockets.
- Bud 10y agoYou are mis-quoting me. I didn't say Bluetooth. I said wireless. That includes the stupid dongle-antennas.
