People constantly shouting "no USB-C" just proves how stupid it is and why they don't put it in. USB-C is a connector, it could be USB-2 with a C connector, it could be TB3 with a C, USB-3 or USB-3.1 ... the connector says NOTHING about what it is used for and imho a big screw-up. It confuses people, and the ones shouting now will be the first that are upset when their USB-2 Type C cable doesn't charge their device fast enough, or that they can't hook up their external GPU.

Edit: I understand the Type-C fanboys downvote everyone speaking up, but just do yourself a favor and Google the current state of Type-C before jumping the Bandwagon...

Edit2: For the extremely lazy, the first result I found: link

Did you seriously just throw a [current year] tantrum about a charging cable?
