I've never heard this argument in favour of the new MBP. In fact, one of the best arguments in favour of the new MBP that I've seen is that USB-C can replace every port we're using right now, and often with the same or fewer dongles as before. For example, USB-C supports 'HDMI alternate mode' which is a simple way to provide an HDMI signal over a USB-C port/cable: http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/HDMIAltModeUSBTypeC.aspx http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/HDMIAltModeUSBTypeC.aspx
