I too, agree that Pro’s have different needs. Just because some Users don’t care about USB-A Ports, as ubiquitous as they are, doesn’t mean that Apple shouldn’t put them on their MacBook Pro’s, for those that DO NEED or WANT them! When they had Card Readers,MagSafe, TB, Express Card Slots, USB-A, Ethernet, and /or Display Port, it didn’t mean that everybody had to use them all, it meant that they were there for the convenience and use of those that did need/want them, no matter how infrequently they were used, compared to someone else. The emphasis should be on pleasing the Customer, not Apple doing what they want, or building what they want! When you pay Top-Dollar for a High-End Device, your options should be there for your improved User-Experience and Convenience! Could you imagine buying a High-End Audio-Video Receiver, and it had less connections, Options, and Connectivity, just because people Stream more Music today, that use TurntablesDVD/.CD Players or FM/AM? No, it’s all there, for whatever YOUR USES may be! What someone else uses, doesn’t mean a Damn thing to ME, and it shouldn’t! I may not use Wireless charging in my Car, or use the USB port for charging, but in a modern Vehicle, I want the capabilities to be there, such as people in the rear charging their devices, and those in front being able to,simultaneously. I don’t know why it’s so hard to see that Apple made a mistake on the faulty Keyboards, the design of the Trashcan Mac Pro, the Stagnation of timely updates to the Mac Mini/Mac Pro/ and iMac, and the elimination of the 17” MacBook Pro! Nobody expects the iMac pro, Mac Pro, or 16”-17” Mac. Book Pro to sell as well as the 13” MBP or 27” 5K iMac, neither does Mercedes sell as many S-Class vehicles, or Chevy not selling as many ZR-1’s and Z06’s!  The prices make up for the smaller Sales-volumes, and they are Halo products-Just like the 16” MacBook Pro! Everything you need should be there, for the most part, and you can use it if you want to. Just because the MacBook Pro still sells well, doesn’t mean that the Public is happy with all of Apple’s recent decisions. 

This will be great! I’ll have my money in hand, waiting for it to drop. The screen real-estate will be welcomed, but I hope that the keyboard will be better than the current one. Thank, God. Weight and size has never been an issue for me.
