My new laptop has, for no good reason other than thinness, decided to be without an Ethernet port. To compensate it came with a USB Type C Ethernet adapter, about the size of a zippo lighter.
In what world does it make sense to shave a millimeter off the device itself, but then require me to be dragging half a dozen adapters around?
I'm already packing AC adapter, HDMI->VGA adapter, USB hub and this new Ethernet adapter everywhere I go. I bet these are approachng the same volume as the laptop itself.
