   I am expecting apple to drop both the headphone port and usb ports this time around. Maybe 2x USB C ports on either side.

    One thing I find disconcerting lately is that all of intels recent innovations appear to be on items that are very hard to buy as a solitary developer (Knights landing, Optane, FPGAs).

    This might possibly be fixed by using PackageResourceViewer. It allows you to edit the package files for themes and have your changes stick. (I use this to change the font size for the tree on the left in the theme file, and I only had to m

    One minor feature request - can you please simplify the setting of font size for the tree browser and for the menu entries. (I know that tree browser font size can be set by the theme, but it is a bit non trivial using PackageResourceViewer

    I would buy it in a heartbeat if they didnt insist on selling it with the numpad. I find it upsetting that it is virtually impossible to find a 15 inch laptop now that doesnt have the numpad (macbook pro and dell xps15 are the notable excep

    Yep on phones and laptops both the thinness trend has gone too far. Battery life and thermals both suffer because of this. Would prefer a slight correction towards thicker phones / laptops that run longer and cooler.

    You are successfully making the point I was trying to. We are willing to concede that usage patters from 100 years ago are unrealistic current realities. However we would simultaneously like to use the current reality to project future real

    Please refrain from assigning intent to a simple comment. Given the large amount of statistics and facts that you bring to the question it is clearly evident that you know more about this problem than I do. I merely wish to point out that a
