My problem is thus: I'm worried I won't like the new laptop and its going to decrease productivity.
I have a very small desire for change. I do like my existing mid-2014 15" MBP but I beat on them really hard so at almost 2 years old, it needs a replacement now.
I'm worried that I will basically end up in a position where I won't have anything that is a suitable replacement for this laptop when it breaks.
The lack of ANY USB ports is frustrating too. I have a hardware USB YubiKey Nano dongle that I leave permanently plugged into my computer for 2FA to various services. I don't want to loose the ability to do that (and I'm not even sure its physically possible to have something like that for USB-C -- its just too small)
I use vim for everything and thus obsessively use the esc key (yes, I know you can remap it, but I'll be fighting against 20+ years of muscle memory). Will the new virtual ESC key be enough? I hope so.
The lack of magsafe also really irks me. I used to destroy chargers like crazy before magsafe. Replacing magsafe with USB-C doesn't seem like a positive step to me.
I really want to love this computer, because I really don't see another option. I'm just worried that I won't and then I won't have any better options.
