What Apple has done here is accept that MacBook Pros are indeed for Pros. Who uses SD cards? Pros!
In Apple’s view, the people who use only their phones for photos will be perfectly served with the M1 machines (Air, Pro 13, iPads). The ugly design is because they realize that it’s the lowest priority for Pros… performance and ports are far more important.
- least 5y agoBoth the SD card slot and HDMI port are on release outdated. SD card reader is limited to UHS-II when UHS-III is out and the HDMI connector is 2.0 instead of 2.1. I'm assuming they're using the pci-e lanes that would've been consumed by the thunderbolt 4 connector it replaces which would mean it'd require an additional controller to meet the bandwidth requirements for both UHS-III and HDMI 2.1 (which consumes 48gbps on its own), but I wouldn't exactly describe either of these connectors more "pro." I'd describe them as convenient.
