Yah I wish Apple made laptops like those Windows laptops, with angular wedged plastic housing holding a barely functioning trackpad and 30 different USB-A ports with grills and 5 fans and all topped off by bright rainbow LEDs everywhere and of course an Intel-Inside sticker so you remember what kind of CPU you have in case you forgot. Maybe add a Dragon print on the cover as well? That would be so cool. I am also an adult.

You forgot the screen lid hinge that always breaks in an unacceptable time, either completely or getting to a point a slight vibration causing screen to shake because of loose hinges.

Don’t forget the CoPilot key you accidentally hit that suddenly pops up a window after 2 minutes waiting saying there is a problem at the moment. And if it’s Dell, a built in rattle!

Why do apple fanboys think of MORE ports and efficient cooling systems as a bad thing?
- vFunct 1y ago
  Because it's indicative of systemic failures. Why waste space and add bulk to carry around ports you never use? Did you think adding those things come at no cost? This is why people say less is more.

    Almost all MBA owners I know carry a dongle with them.

      Correct, mine weighs about half an ounce and I think I have used it maybe twice in the last 7 years. To be honest, this comment is going to prompt me to go find it in my bag and toss it.

      Great so you can always add a dongle if you need them. Now how do I get rid of extra ports if I don't need them?
  - shortrounddev2 1y ago
    Because maybe I do use ports and don't want to have to use a dongle to plug stuff in. Even apple realized their excesses and brought some more ports back. They've totally lost the plot on devices
    - vFunct 1y ago
      So why should I have to carry around extra bulk for ports for your convenience?

        What a bizarre way to think about the product
