If you don't sit at a desk all day, it's remembering it that's the problem. Pre-covid I'd often want to plug into a big screen or projector in a meeting room without necessarily having planned to do so beforehand.
Built in HDMI was a huge advantage for me. With my MBP it's a problem, with my ThinkPad - not so much.
- cwhiz 6y agoI take the "don't make me think" ethos pretty far in this regard. I keep everything (electronic) I could need for a work trip in my laptop bag. Phone and watch chargers, hubs, AC adapters, etc. I actually prefer USB-C to having a handful of generic plugs. My travel hub has HDMI, DP, VGA, and ethernet. I would be obnoxious to have all those plugs on a laptop.
- petepete 6y agoTypically when in my building at work I don't like to carry more than my laptop around. I feel safer in the knowledge that I can plug into any projector/big screen in any meeting room without needing a dongle. "Oh, just give me five minutes while I run back to my desk and get my dongle" probably isn't going to cut it. That's the main reason I use my ThinkPad over my MBP for work.
- lokedhs 6y agoI have a Thinkpad and feel the same advantage as you. That said, the sooner conference rooms moves to all USB-C the better. That would deal with the problem of charging your laptop in a conference room as well.
