Is there a particular use case where you'd need the extra (I'm assuming you're wanting this for on the go use cases, otherwise you'd probably use a hub at your "home" location)
- paxys 2y agoAny hub actually worth using (Thunderbolt ports, high enough charging wattage, dual displays, 2.5Gb Ethernet) will run you like $300-$400, which is almost half the price of the Macbook. I'd rather have a couple more ports on the device.
- jamespo 2y agoBut if the extra usb-c port is taken up by a charger what's the benefit? Also the air physically can't accomodate USB-A, ethernet, hdmi etc.
- paxys 2y agoYou're not charging your laptop 100% of the time. The Air runs like 12 hours or more on a single charge. A Magsafe port is useless all that time.
- dannyw 2y agoSay you're at an airport, waiting for your flight, and wanted to charge your iPhone and Airpods at the same time.
- gomox 2y agoThe 35W power adapter (included on all non-base models or a $20 option otherwise) has 2 USB-C ports which should cover this use case.
