Several people are complaining about the lack of ethernet ports.
Back in 2012(?), Apple came out with the MacBook Air, which did not have an optical drive. Everyone was up in arms: NO OPTICAL DRIVE?!? Has Jobs lost his mind??!? I was the same: what the heck? How will I get along without an optical drive?!?
Then I thought about the last time I used the optical drive on my MBP. After a bit of thinking, I realized that I had basically never used it in the ~4 years I had that MBP! I had been lugging around an optical drive, which I had used zero times! Then it dawned on me: I've been getting along fine without an optical drive.
Something tells me that the story will be similar with ethernet ports. Most of our devices today (laptops, tablets, phones) don't use wired ethernet. Ye cranky old desktop does, but..... what if you could put a $50 ac card in it, and presto, no wires!
