Yeah literally all many of us want is a standard keyboard with function keys instead of the touchbar. A couple regular USB ports would be nice as well so we can plug in a mouse and keyboard without needing dongles. Neither of those things would turn their "pro" laptop into a brick.

I really liked MagSafe though. Never used the F-keys really. ESC is not that hard for me to live without but that's all personal. But the difference in performance is quite noticeable.

The only issue I have with it is that the LED doesn't change color when the device is fully charged. The line includes: - Laptop, - Pro (tablet + typecover) - Book (tablet + keyboard + GPU + battery)
