external displays are 80% hdmi and 20% vga. for the next five years there will be zero dongles available to you at universities. yes, they are available chained to your employer and mine conference rooms, but that's not the norm when you actually need to project something and forgot your dongle. I will happily give up the 0.0001mm it will gain to have both of those. my Asus has only a raised connector and is the same thinness of the models without. irrelevant thickness > missing ports when you need them. saying otherwise is buying into the thinest-is-better-marketing-pissing-contest and show that you have no idea that support for both those ports are already built into your APU. they just need to run a port with no extra parts. they just leave it out to market it easier to people like you that will pay premium for it.
