I also heard that rumour about the ports, but I'm not sure I'm entirely convinced with them releasing this new iMac with only USB-C ports. If their desktop Mac doesn't have ports, why would their laptop?
- MaysonL 5y agoTwo Thunderbolt, 2 USB-C on the better version, 2 Thunderbolt on the cheaper.
- robin_reala 5y agoThere’s Ethernet as well.

- laurent92 5y agoIt’s basically a laptop without the transportability. Only 255GB disk. No numeric keypad. Have to use a bulky charger. Have to carry dongles for the Blue Yeti microphone in USB2 (and the printer). Need a SD adapter to download the films from my reflex camera. Can’t plug headphones.
- solarkraft 5y agoIt's funny/weird that they only put the ethernet port on the power supply. They could've put some more USB ports on it for connecting accessories in a clean manner. If you're using a docking station already, why the hell not do it properly? For this iMac the connection could've been USB-C, btw (but it probably can't be for the larger ones). Furthering the idea of putting things into an external unit to save space on the desk, what if they also put the computing hardware into something like a power brick? Sounds crazy, I know, but the display could be very thin that way and there would be no need for thick chins or tons of dongles on the table.
- robin_reala 5y agoNot a bad idea, but Apple already do it. It’s called the Mac Mini.
- grishka 5y agoAs I said in another comment, M1 seems to be severely I/O-limited. The M1 Mac Mini even has an internal USB hub iirc to solve this. It's safe to say that the next generation of SoCs will be better in this regard.
