In the scheme of things cabling is a relatively trivial point. Perhaps a better target to find fault with is lack of easy memory upgrade, or use of sealed rechargeables in mouse and especially keyboard. Apple are far from unique in claiming, perhaps undeserved, green credentials. In general Apple and Thinkpad seem to be the only brands that will last. I suspect it is environmentally far better, for all their faults, to keep a machine for 5 years rather than have 2 or 3 cheaper machines over the same period. So what would you suggest that doesn't require a rethink of the whole tech industry?
