As someone that didn't like originally giving up my ports and thought Jony Ive was a bit too overzealous with thinness, I actually don't think he was wrong.
USB-C is pretty great, and the sooner we shift things over the better. When I bough a MBP with only USB-C ports I just bought a little dongle thing that slots in to my two ports on the side and gives me USB-A, HDMI, SD and MicroSD. I've used the thing around 20 times and its never been a burden because I carry it with me in my laptops case.
At this point I actually see adding the other ports back as a step backwards. HDMI is old and aggressively large in 2021. My 3 devices that use an SD card actually use a microSD card so I need to carry around an adapter anyway.
- hellbannedguy 5y agoI have never understood this push for light, and thin. Even twenty years ago I wanted just the best features in a laptop. Give me a quality machine, at a reasonable price; and I would drag around a boat anchor. I also wanted repairability, and room for future upgrades inside the laptop, but gave up on that one.
