Where does this obsession of making it as thin as possible even come from?
I am pretty sure almost everyone will gladly trade the "thinness" for a few standard USB and HDMI ports.
- nickthegreek 2y agoOn the Air model? Its whole thing is being light and thin. On the Pro model, sure.
- janetmissed 2y agoI used to hold the same opinion as you, but since getting a m2 air I’ve really enjoyed how thin and light it is. It really is a noticeable quality of life improvement. Once you have a decent stockpile of usb c cables the port thing isn’t really an issue anyways
- cyanmagenta 2y ago> I am pretty sure almost everyone will gladly trade the "thinness" for a few standard USB and HDMI ports. I think there’s a lot of people that want something as light and thin as possible to slip into your purse and take to the cafe.
- dartharva 2y agoLight, sure. Thin? I have never seen any instance where a laptop's thinness ended up factoring in ease of portability.
- hwc 2y agoI care more about total mass than thinness. But those things tend to be correlated.
- dartharva 2y agoI doubt a few ports can add any significant weight difference to it.
- AdamN 2y agoThat's what the MBP product line is for. More ports and performance for more expense and weight/size. I know it seems like a champagne problem but the Pro really can get annoyingly heavy when traveling and the Air is dreamy how light it is.
- ericpauley 2y agoMacbooks have been USB-C for 10 years. All my devices have been replaced since then. USB-C is the standard USB port.

- dannyw 2y agoUSB-C is objectively better than USB-A in every way, and quite massively so. Technology makes progress. Do you want a COM port?
