MacBook Pro – not a single USB-A port or SD card slot in sight

Apart from a 3.5mm audio socket, all i/o in Apple’s new MacBook Pro is via 4 USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports. That includes data (Thunderbolt (up to 40 Gbps) & USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps)) & video. Charging too.
To connect full-size USB (USB-A) devices, some sort of adapter will be required. New MacBooks also lack an SD card slot – another adapter required.
Good news is, that until the end of the year, Apple is reducing prices on adapters & USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 peripherals:
“Through the end of the year, we are reducing prices on all USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 peripherals we sell, as well as the prices on Apple's USB-C adapters & cables.” – Apple
