For me, the lack of an ethernet port is a dealbreaker, because most of the on-site work I do at clients requires it. The last thing I need is to forget a dongle.<p>I myself gave up on Apple after my 2011 MBP bricked itself last year.<p>That was too bad, because I really liked the discontinued unibody form factor. If I was spending money on a new laptop, it wasn&#x27;t going to be a two year old 2012 unibody or one one of the newer thinner, less user-serviceable models.
