Imagine thinking this was a bad thing.
- diag 7y agoHow long were VGA ports commonplace in laptops? Few, if any, laptop OEMs were interested in trying to refine the mobile experience until just a few years ago.
- doteka 7y agoNot that I’m a fan of those (haven’t owned a non Apple laptop in over a decade) but the reason they had those is that a VGA is the only way you’re gonna be sure that the projector in whatever random Fortune 500 meeting room you’re in can connect to your laptop. They’re kind of compensating for corporate IT being absolute garbage.
- chrisseaton 7y agoBut I don’t need them! I just need USB-C! Nothing else! Get rid of the legacy junk and give me simpler, lighter, thinner, better sealed laptop.

- chrisseaton 7y agoSo what should I buy if I want a powerful, long-life Windows laptop but don't want umpteen silly ports down the side?
- likeclockwork 7y agoI'm not your personal shopper. I'm sure if you want a machine with no ports someone is willing to oblige you. Or you can go back to one-size-fits-all Apple-land.
- chrisseaton 7y ago> I'm not your personal shopper. The point was - there's no option available. Nobody but Apple seems to be capable of doing it. That's what this thread is about. If you can't think of any counter examples then that's an argument in my favour not yours!
- likeclockwork 7y agoYou're not the target market. Those laptops are for people who want features. If Apple is serving you, stay with them.
