There are 4 USB-C ports anyway.
And MagSafe is not coming back. AIUI, MagSafe unavoidably led to connection problems with the power cable over time and was a big driver of AppleCare support issues. Anecdotally, I've had multiple laptops where the MagSafe connector got to the point of needing to be jiggled around almost every time I plugged it in before it would start delivering power.
- xnaas 8y ago>There are 4 USB-C ports anyway. Only if you buy any MacBook Pro configuration with the touchbar. If you want normal F-keys, you're limited to 2 ports because "fuck you," I guess.
- eridius 8y agoIs "fuck you" a euphemism for "you're buying a computer that costs $500 less and as a result probably doesn't have the internal hardware to support 4 separate USB-C ports"?
- tazard 8y ago2 more USB ports costs an extra $500? It's strange because a $15 USB hub plugged into the USB ports works fine. It must be lack of internal space due to not including a touchbar... Wait that doesn't make sense either...
