A bummer about the new Macbooks not having SD card slots, besides the inconvenience for camera/audio device users, is that the SD card slot offered an extremely convenient way to add extra storage space for not a lot of money.
- 781 7y agoApple designers hate holes and buttons. They are fighting really hard to remove as many as possible. No way they put a huge slot on the side for an SD card. The perfect notebook in the eyes of an Apple designer would be a solid slab of aluminium with no holes, no screen and no buttons. Perfection itself.

- JudgeWapner 7y ago> no buttons you know, this should be possible with AI and CV: train the NN with millions of words typed on a keyboard with stereo cameras (or perhaps even sonar) mounted just below the screen pointing directly at the fingers. between seeing where the fingers are landing and using some sort of auto-correct-style intelligence tied into dictionary lookups of what words could be produced, it should be possible to have a virtual keyboard. I'm not sure what the benefit of such a thing would be, and of course typing directly on metal wouldn't be comfortable. but there may be a use somewhere.

- toyg 7y agoConsidering how crap the new keyboards are, you need a dock for the external keyboard anyway - and most decent docks have one or two card slots. Without my Caldigit Ts3+, I would have probably sold this laptop two years ago.
