Yes, because we should all still be using SCSI on our laptops. With cables thicker than your thumb that had to be handled with utmost care or else they'd fail.

Yes, because we should all still be using SCSI on our laptops. With cables thicker than your thumb that had to be handled with utmost care or else they'd fail. And single-purpose connectors, where even the compact form was bigger than a lot of device chargers these days. USB-A is certainly ubiquitous, which is a good thing. But it was never going to last forever. USB-C vastly improves on the physical design (reversible, symmetric, easier insertion, etc.) and I expect will carry us forward for even longer than USB-A has. Thus Apple and everyone else are moving towards adopting USB-C, which means there will be ever more widespread and cheap docking and peripheral options. Yes, these transitions are painful but at least there are dongles this time, which hasn't always been the case. Such transitions are also a part of living during the historically amazing times of an accelerated tech curve. Enjoy that while it lasts!
