- whywhywhywhy 8y agoStill a dongle on every desk of my office, how many years has this thing been USB-C only now...
- organsnyder 8y agoI'm a big fan of USB-C—I try to avoid purchasing any devices without it. But I use the non-USB-C ports on my ThinkPad T480—HDMI, USB-A, Ethernet—on a regular basis. It also has a hot-swappable battery, superb typing experience, and is easily serviced. And it weighs about the same as a MBP (right in between the 13" and 15" MBP, which makes sense since it's a 14" laptop).

- DoofusOfDeath 8y agoMy problem with USB-C on MBP is that, at least 6 months ago, I couldn't find a good, fully compatible port expander. In particular, my 2017 13" MBP gets pretty confused sometimes when talking to two external monitors connected via my Elegato expander. Even just one monitor sometimes gets confused after sleeping. It was annoying enough that now I typically use just one external monitor. And when I need two, I conmect the second directly to my MBP's 2nd USB-C port, not to my expander.
