USB-C does a lot of heavy lifting. Also, MagSafe™ is still there. A little surprised there is also a SD card slot. And a HDMI port. Not complaining about their inclusion, and I do use them regularly, but why did the dongle company give these to us?

I’m pretty happy with a usb-c port multiplier doing all the work. Who wants to carry around all those accessories?

  • When I want to be portable, all I need is my laptop.
  • when I sit at my desk, one connection gets me power, monitor, Ethernet, keyboard, mouse, headphones, and lots of empty ports

Funny you say this. I’ve been screaming at my usb c to mini display port adapter for the last hour or so. getting the idisplay or what they are called to work on my work laptop is just agony, because the adapter is so old and doesn‘t work properly anymore and the thing doesn’t offer any other connection methods..

because people kept asking for them back! i never use those ports though, and would really really love to have a full size USB port instead of HDMI i would never ever use. so many accessories still have usb-a adapters only
