That is an atypical scenario unless your job requires frequent presentation. Even then, you are used to having an adapter in your bag or pocket.
To me, this is a great tradeoff: I get a lighter and thinner laptop for 100% of my computing, the downside being an adapter when I return the the dark ages of VGA connectors.
In fact, for my MacBook Pro, I will have fewer connections. Instead of power and Thunderbolt, I will just get one of the connectors that bridges power, external monitor and USB peripherals and plug in a single thing when I "dock" my laptop.
I will take that any day over the awkward Dell and Thinkpad docking stations I see my coworkers use.
- urda 12y ago> That is an a typical scenario unless your job requires frequent presentation. I completely agree with this assessment. Even here on HN the majority of users are not giving presentations or even screen sharing. When it does matter, there is often a third party device they have to present from anway. I'll take the adapter not being in the box, as for most users they won't be using it enough to warrant the extra cost.
- robotresearcher 12y agoI agree completely. The top comment in this thread was about wireless connections making wired connections redundant. I want wired video output as I trust it more than wireless. VGA is an inelegant but working solution. Dongle is no problem.
