I did think and then post. It's a money grab because if you want to do 2 things at the same time on the new macbook - have your laptop connected to a power source and insert a pendrive or connect to a second screen - you need to buy an adapter. And this thing already costs 1300$ afair, while having nothing innovative, par the new port - which like you mentioned, they don't have a monopoly for.

That might be true, I use a desktop as my private computer, so I see laptops and notebooks as work tools, and I can't see a time soon where all hardware is wireless in most companies. Wired is usually more secure.

I am not an user of Apple products, but I see their merits (like great customer support, works great out of the box). If the new Apple notebook had 3 USB-C ports all would be fine and dandy. But the moment they have 1 and the only way to access almost ANYTHING else (like a projector or connect your phone to), you now have to buy an adapter separately... It's really evil and a money grab in my opinion. If 100% hardware would work wireless, then by all means, have no ports on your notebook, but this time has not come yet and it will take some time before that happens.
