I'm totally happy with my single port MacBook. Rarely I need two things at the same time and as we're moving to a more wireless world, less will we need it! It's a bet on the future not on the present.
Were you also sad when Apple launched a laptop with no CD/DVD drive?
- rm_-rf_slash 11y agoNo, but I never use CDs. I use USBs and SDs and extra monitors fairly often. How am I expected to write apps for an iPhone if I have to choose between having my iPhone connected or having electricity? Oh, I can just by an adapter? I'd rather buy a new computer.
- pedrogpimenta 11y agoOK then maybe that's not a computer for you and your kind of work. I think it's personal. As a nomadic front-end developer, I'm really happy with it. I would be equally or more happy with one port more, no doubt, but it doesn't feel like a problem to me.
- Jtsummers 11y agoUntil they switch to single-port across all their devices this is a non-issue. You still have other options in the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro lines.
- nerdb4itwascool 11y agoI write apps for iPhone. I have a dongle that gives me power, connects to my iPhone, and connects to an extra monitor. I'd rather carry around a dongle that weighs less than an ounce than add 2 lbs of weight to my laptop to accomadate more ports
- pritambaral 11y agoDoes it really add 2 lbs of weight to add some USB ports?
- Jtsummers 11y agoNo. The MacBook Air isn't even 1 pound heavier.
