So this basically amounts to a mandatory $80 mark-up for a not-so-optional USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter, right? http://store.apple.com/us/product/MJ1K2AM

Without it, the machine is essentially limited to wi-fi speeds for everything you try to do.

Yes, it is "limited" to something like 500mbps. At least the 2013 models got that, this one might be fast, 802.11ac can go faster than gigabit ethernet. You could spend $12 on a superspeed+ USB-C to USB-A adapter at amazon. But that doesn't get you power. I predict USB-C high power hubs will happen soon and we'll all be happy.

I was really excited about the machine until I realized I would have to take the dongle everywhere I traveled. I don't want a dongle and I certainly don't want an $80 one. I do want to attach a device and a power cord at the same time. I would be fine with two ports. I have no idea why they didn't put another port on the right. Maybe to sell $80 dongles?
