1. Up-to-date appropriate CPU
2. Space for both a SSD and a backup HD, easily user replaceable/up-gradable
3. Expandable memory by user
4. More than 1 USB/Thunderbolt 3 port
5. plus 1 USB 3.0 type A on front for charging/syncing/transferring without having to reach around to the back or buy a hub
6. Compact, but not small & thin just to be small & thin,  It's a desktop computer !

Just a user up-gradable, stylish, basic computer that runs Mac OS.  Can't a Trillion $ company sell just one model like this? 

1. Yes, which includes the option for getting the same Intel Core i7 the 13" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar can get.
2. How about an m.2 NVMe SSD (or soldered-on SSD) and a 2.5" SSD, or have 2 m.2 NVMe SSD, user replaceable, instead of a 2.5" SSD?
3. Yes.
4. Replace the two MiniDisplay ports with two Thunderbolt 3, USB-C ports. Also, update the HDMI port to 2.1, the current version.
5. It would be nice but I do not see them doing this.
6. The current size is fine with me.

Just my luck. The day I decide to update to macOS Sierra before macOS High Sierra is released and hope EVE Online still works at least as well as it does now on OS X El Capitan, macOS High Sierra gets released.

Is there a way to get macOS Sierra? If my hard drive failed or I swapped it for an SSD and I wanted to stay on macOS Sierra, I would think there is a way to do it.

A number of older OSs are still up on their site.

Where do I go to get macOS Sierra? When I go the the App Store and type "macOS Sierra" the only OS that shows is macOS High Sierra.

"Toshiba's NAND flash memory business is the second biggest in the world, but the company is selling it off to cover billions in losses from its bankrupt U.S. nuclear division, Westinghouse."

That last part is messed up. They are trying to get rid of something that is profitable just so they can cover the losses, in the billions, of something that is not.
