Having only a single port on one side is indeed a horrible idea; and the MacBook is in no way an entry-level machine (at well over a thousand dollars). Try and step out of the RDF.
- csydas 10y agoI'm not really sure why it's automatically reality distorting when the majority of my use time with my current laptop that has more ports than the newest MacBook is almost exactly in line with apple's idea with the single port. My needs certainly aren't everyone's, and I've never claimed as such. But really, with the specs on the current MacBooks what else are you going to be doing besides Facebook and some movies? I'm not even confident it can play some high quality YouTube videos much less higher quality rips. With the price, this is how they've always operated; their initial adopters always pay a premium to be first, and the second or third iteration is accompanied with a price drop and design changes to address initial complaints. The MacBook Air gen1 was filled with issues. The update handled all of these pretty gloriously.
- nicky0 10y agoHaving a MacBook myself, I haven't found any problem only having one port. It's an excellent computer in general use, and very portable. But I agree it's not at all entry level, this is a a luxury computer. It's an exceptionally well made machine. Their best product IMO. It's not for everyone, sure. But it's great for me.
