I hope it's not indicative of a trend among laptop manufacturers. Apple removed Ethernet ports from their MacBook Pro Retina, ostensibly to reduce form factor, but also rendering it useless if you're in a place without good wifi,and only ethernet - exactly like my current workplace.
The chromebook really doesn't appeal to me as a concept. The only attractive thing I find about them is their cheap price and the fact that they tend to have good quality hardware for that price.
- bluedino 13y agoI could see missing the ethernet port on a MacBook Pro - it wouldn't be unusual to pull files from the LAN that are 100's of MB in size. But you're not going to do that on a Chromeboook.
- jlgreco 13y agoGoogle throws in 3 free years of 1TB storage on Google Drive with every Chromebook Pixel. There must be a reason they think people need that much online storage.
- lreeves 13y agoCalling a MacBook Pro Retina useless without wifi is a little harsh, the Thunderbolt and USB ethernet adapters work perfectly (as well as the ethernet ports in the Apple displays).
