There's two types of people... those that accept change in technology and those that don't. Gartner Research has proven that as time is progressing, and things are moving to Cloud-based computing, there is less need for external devices. How? Let's look at the general devices used by Computer Users...

External Monitor - This is the only reason you'd need a cable. However time can change this. If the Apple TV can project the Mac onto a TV / Screen, surely that means technology isn't far away from being able to project computers to the monitor directly through similar technologies as the AppleTV and AirPlay.
Keyboard / Mouse - These days, you can get Bluetooth keyboards and mice. Bluetooth means not only no cables, but also no required 'receiver', merely a computer with Bluetooth capabilities.
Printers - These days most of the printers are WiFi Printers, only cable needed, is a power cable to the printer... no cables between computers and printer.

So do I see Apple being able to sell these Macs... definitely.
Do I understand why Apple chose to remove all ports except Headphones and USB-C? Yes particularly with the way technology is changing.

My only concern is that you have to buy the $90 (or whatever the price is) adapter to have different ports from the USB-C such as using my Old 64GB USB Thumbdrive etc.


Apple Watch
My favourite part of the night... Definitely looking to get myself one of them, that's for sure. However, I'll have to save up for it! lol.



Here's my review on it all, on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHrL3stwJ5A

Macbook "Pro": It isn't a Pro. It isn't designed to be a Pro.
Apple Watch: Enjoy your expensive notification centre lol

Watched the video, by the way, you are clearly passionate, although (constructive criticism) you should be more neutral; it felt like watching an Apple advert, rather than a review :P

Oops, my bad. Yeah but regardless if you compare features of Air to this new one etc, it's not as good.

True, initially it'll be like that, but as the Watch Ecosystem builds up, more amazing things will work on it.

Yeah compare the Air to this and the Air looks like a powerful device :P

And you are probably right, my concern regarding the Watch is that by the time the ecosystem is truly awesome the next few generations will have been released!
