Laptop is meant to be a portable device and it needs to be self-sufficient. But in case of the new MacBooks you have to keep adapters handy at all times. Using bluetooth for audio draws more battery than wired ones, though negligible, but still matters over long runs. Also, you have to make sure your bluetooth earphones/speakers are charged as well.
EDIT - Disregard my comment. I had Apple iPhone in mind while writing for MacBook. Guess I was misplaced in space and time.
- cpr 8y agoThey didn't get rid of the headphone jack on laptops. Even the latest models still have one.
- sosborn 8y agoWhat? Unless I am missing something, all of the current mac laptops have audio ports.
- harshulpandav 8y agoYou're right. My bad. I have added an edit to my comment.
- smileysteve 8y agoAnd if thinness and light weightness are such priorities for apple; if you're removing the headphone jack, it seems almost reasonable to go back to external bluetooth speakers... welcome back to the 90s.
