Sure, rather integrate a comfortable keyboard, we can use bionic gloves instead - kinda like the dongle concept. 

To be honest, I find the keyboard cover for the 10.5" iPad Pro absolutely fantastic (as well as the first generation 12.9" iPad Pro) - the ease and speed is about halfway between a butterfly / iPhone keyboard and a real keyboard - and IMO it's closer to the real keyboard than the butterfly/iPhone, nearly completely usable.  And it takes up less space in your backpack than a pair of gloves.

Almost the exact size and weight of a 12.9" iPad Pro with a vastly better screen and substantial battery pack.
But of course, if you don't already own one, this is cheaper.

I sincerely hope that people out there run these tests across ALL the 2018 Macbook Pros, including the 13" models, to see if any of them can out perform the earlier models.

It's so ironic - I'm used to dealing with Apple not designing Macbook Pros to handle the GPUs, because they design the thermals for the base configuration.  I always get the high end version, and I always have heating problems.  So when I saw that Apple now has discrete GPUs in ALL versions of the 2015 Macbook Pro, I thought "FANTASTIC!  Apple will finally have to design the thermals to accommodate a discrete GPU.  And now this happens. 

Did I mention the enormous volume of these fans drives me batty?  I had to hack my Macbook Pro to keep the fans on all the time at a low level so that they wouldn't spike up to a high level whose I couldn't bear.

Well, at least the keyboard works now.

It’s more than impressive how Apple wasn’t even known for its screen development capabilities just a decade ago and today they’re one of the best screen developers. I hope and surely believe they will keep up the good work.

Yeah - Apple IPS laptop displays always stood out to me, and I'll never forget when Apple launched the 30" 2,500x1,600 monitor, and then later when they launched the first retina displays. These were awesome landmarks. Can't wait to see Apple lead with microLED in the future. And they have an edge few can beat - they can charge 10x what everyone else can for their products.

If we could get even remotely acceptable audio quality from bluetooth, then this wouldn't have been such a big deal.  But no one has yet supplied a high quality wireless audio solution, despite the fact that I can get 250 megabits/second WiFi across my house...  Who will stand up and make a real wireless audio standard?  One with lossless audio, effortless sharing of channels across multiple headphones, and none of this "pairing" stuff?

In any case, thank you Belkin.  It's appreciated.  But for me, I need the adapter that includes charging, 'cause I don't have a wireless charging pad in my car yet.  Nonetheless, for short uses, it's a life saver.  You can finally change a pair of quality headphones into lightning headphones.
