On the other hand, the new MBP can do all that when you plug it into a big display at home with a single cable, avoiding the cabling discomfort. I like the Surface Book more than the new MacBook but I see its benefits.

That requires that I buy a display that works like that, and still limits the subsets of that setup I can use. Which comes up for me a shocking amount these days :/

In particular it's nice when my computer is useful without a bunch of extra crap plugged in, and mostly progressively enhanced by new attachments.

I can do light photo work on site with a 2009 MBP and no peripherals at all.
