>Nah. It was hated by a small but vocal minority of users, of which HN has a lot of. I have not met a pro user that wasn't annoyed by not being able to plug in

  Nice to meet you. I could not care less. If I need to plug something with a cable, it may have a dongle as well.

  It was even worse. Those macbook owners would cause the others in the meeting to be annoyed when they couldn’t plug in and had to send their slides to someone else with a hdmi port and keep repeating the words “next slide”. It was viral annoyance.

    My employer issues a dongle with a type A, type C, and HDMI port on it with every MacBook. That only helps if you actually have the dongle with you. One popular option was to just keep the dongle attached at all times. Personally, I found an adhesive pouch and attached that to the back of the monitor, and carried the dongle around that way. I wonder when I'll be able to get one of these new Macs at work ...

      At my office they just gave up and replaced the HDMI connectors with USB-C connectors in every meeting room. Now it's the people with the older windows laptops who need a dongle.
