I use my MacBook Pro for work, where I am always connected to power, video, and a USB keyboard and trackball. With USB-C compatible hubs at $79 it doesn't sound very appealing to me. The latest MacBook sounds like it is largely good for Apple more than good for the customer. They seem to have simplified their manufacturing requirements a good deal, homogenizing the look with iPads and shedding ports and fans. But the cost is crappy performance. The only real benefit I see to this device is the retina display.
