* Built-in speaker and headphone/line-out jack

A USB mic will work.

Macs have not had microphone inputs in about fifteen years - all the inputs since then have been LINE-level only.

Why not? my pc laptops allowed skype headsets.
Another reason why i can't dedicate 100% to Mac.

Maybe Mac and PC should become 1?

But not as much as built-in mic pre-amps.

Built in mic pre-amps are great if what you want is to plug in a headset mic. Yes, I know, buy a new one that's usb. That sucks. Get a usb line in.
