This might seem a mundane, niche product announcement, but take a minute to read this post from Jeff Benjamin:

The 2016 MacBook Pro has endured criticism for its lack of I/O ports, but what that it does have — two or four Thunderbolt 3 ports based on your configuration — have lots of potential. For example, it’s now possible to connect an external GPU (eGPU) box via Thunderbolt 3 and tap into the power offered by a full-sized graphics card.

Imagine a box that offered the power and expandability of a Mac Pro that plugged into a port (or two) on your MacBook Pro.

You’d have the lightness and portability of a laptop and, arriving at your desk, you’d have a large display and the growling power of large, desktop class expansion cards, limited only by the transfer speeds of Thunderbolt 3. And Thunderbolt 3 is no slouch.

Interesting possibilities there.
