I do think usb-c and thunderbolt over usb-c are the future. However, what is problematic is they've put the design of super thin over practical. What once were internal components are now external dongles. The price of the laptops didn't go down because of less hardware, it actually went up and increased/grew a market of dongle-land. Now to get an equivalent laptop from a few years before we have to spend hundreds of dollars to be able to connect that external monitor, use ethernet, or usb-a.
