JDC,
Nope. I am actually well within the market for one of the new Macbooks. I have a secondary machine which is an '09 Macbook Pro 13". It serves as a travel machine and a backup machine for my office. I use flash drives with it. I use external hard disk drives with it. If it didn't have a built-in optical drive, I'd use an external optical drive with it on occasion.
The new Macbook would make for a fine replacement for the referenced machine. The size, speed, RAM and storage specs are dandy for the jobs I'd do with it. The one issue is the single USB-C port. That's the critical flaw in the design. I can work around the issue but it shouldn't be necessary.
