I feel that any laptop that doesn't have at least a thunderbolt port is obsolete in this day and age.
It's not the port itself, it's just a handy way for me to determine a cut-off for when a laptop is too old, green m&m style. If it doesn't have a thunderbolt port, it's probably missing other necessary features I might require too.
my current laptop (X230T) doesn't have one and it works fine, I love the little thing, but my next laptop will definitely have one. I feel you need to have at least one foot in the current world.

- ahartmetz 3y agoAMD based laptops usually don't have Thunderbolt. If you don't really need the port, it would be a mistake to avoid these laptops.

- ryzvonusef 3y agoAh, good point, I guess I need a better metric to quickly judge 2nd hand laptops. Maybe 1080p screens? if it has a 1366x768 panel, it needs to burn in a fire.
