This is what I've been saying. I don't want 4 USB-C ports and a headphone jack. I want none.
I get that they might be needed for external displays or maybe for spectrum cramped offices, but what I need more than anything is more battery. I want a MBP that can actually last a 10 hour work day.
- dwighttk 8y agoI think it may be a while before macs are charged wirelessly.
- 3pt14159 8y agoI want a power source that is wired, but I don't want / need USB-C. USB is too insecure.
- givinguflac 8y agoSerious question, what’s your proposed alternative for a local secure data transfer/accessory connection, and how is requiring a physical connection less secure than wireless?
- walterbell 8y agoA power-only wired cable is more secure than a data+power wired cable.
- givinguflac 8y agoThat wasn’t the question? But thanks
- givinguflac 8y agoLaptops are nearly at the limit for what can be brought on a plane, capacity-wise. I don’t think you’ll see that take a leap forward until laws change or batteries get much safer/more energy dense.
- Kliment 8y agoI might be wrong about this but last I checked new MBPs don't even have half of the maximum capacity that can be brought on a plane, because thinness curse. Edit: checked, and this was true for the 2016/17 models. The 2018 models have 58Wh (13") and 83Wh (15") in the most expensive configuration. 2016/17 models have 49Wh and 76Wh respectively. The non-touchbar ones have 54Wh, even in the 2018 models. You can take up to 100Wh on an airplane, not counting spares. So every MBP model currently available has significantly less than the maximum allowed capacity.
- givinguflac 8y agoSo per your own data the capacities have increased year on year and are within 15% of max... pleaSe show me a laptop with a 100Wh battery that isn’t strictly because it’s a power-guzzling beast.
