My work laptop is one of the 2 port Pros too. To make matters worse it's the lowest space spec too. Total nightmare using this for video work, not enough space to store the video files so have to use an external drive, dongles are not reliable enough to keep a drive mounted so have to dedicate one port to that, second port has my screen but when my battery goes low I have to go back to editing just on the laptop screen because I have to plug the power back in. It's just compromise after compromise and for what? What did I as a user as a customer gain here?
