Finally. I have been waiting for this. I'm not being sarcastic.
I have a MBP at work and at home. When they are on the desk, both have a 7 things plugged into them. When I lift it up, I have to unplug 7 things. When I put it down, I have to plug all 7 things back in. Being able to plug those all into a single dongle which I can then plug into the computer. Besides convenience, it would also make cable management easier.
That said, I hope the pro model has a least two and that it keeps an HDMI port.
- dublinben 10y agoThat sounds like an inferior version of the desktop dock that every business laptop (Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc) has had for over a decade. It would be an omission of failure if Apple resorted to something like that.
- laurentdc 10y agoHow about purchasing a dock? On my ThinkPad a single cable delivers power, video, USB, Ethernet... I'm sure Apple has identical solutions, I've seen many third party ones for the 12" MacBook.
- drivingmenuts 10y agoI finally went out and bought a 10-port powered USB dock. Which doesn't work with my USB Midi keyboard. Well, shit. Now what?
- jrnichols 10y ago> Well, shit. Now what? Another dongle for you!
- spiderfarmer 10y agoThe rMBP has 2 USB ports right now. I plug four cables into that thing every day, I would also love to have to plug in just one cable and mount the dongle somewhere behind the desk. But I don't think USB can be used for a 4k external monitor?
