    Future Proof Laptop Features - Thunderbolt 3, WiGig, WWAN

    I am wondering what features people consider important for a future-proof laptop. Obviously, an SSD would be preferred. I think a Thunderbolt 3 port is a requirement. What do think about the value of WiGig? I don't really get the appeal of WWAN. Couldn't you just use your cell phone as a...
