HDMI isn't dead and it pisses me off that they sacrificed it in exchange for any amount of thinness. I don't notice how things my laptop is day to day, but I definitely notice when I can't plug into a projector.
- sumedh 8y ago> HDMI isn't dead People said the same things about floppy drives and cd roms.
- imtringued 8y agoI'm pretty sure HDMI will support 8k and resolutions beyond that.
- sumedh 8y agoGreat but USB C can do that as well and much more. There is no need for both.
- sangnoir 8y agoI'm yet to see a TV with USB C inputs. Unless of course , if you're suggesting dongle-hell as an alternative for all missing ports, in which case, whatever few mm you save in thin laptops are gained back and more by much fatter dongles you have to carry around (or forget).

- xaldir 8y agoAs a professional I encounter still too many VGA only projectors in clients offices, but HDMI is the dominating standard by far. So many people use TV in their conference room and that is not going to change any time soon. Getting rid of the HDMI port to save a few mm of thickness is just plain stupid. I watched my boss buying a new MBP on day one. Months later I still laugh when I see him fiddling with adapters that never work reliably.
