Disagree with this cons:
  • I/O should consist of two USB 3.0 and no USB 2.0

While 2 USB 3.0 ports are nice, having front panel USB 2.0 port/s is very useful for plugging in USB headsets or receivers of wireless peripherals into front panel for convenience and better signal strength.

In this situation, substituting 1x USB-C for one of the other USB ports would offer a way better value while also keeping the above statement valid too, IMHO :)
