to be fair, the bandwidth of all the ports on the bottom laptop probably fit in 1 (maaaaybe 2? Just spitballing here) Thunderbolt 5 ports depending how fast the ethernet port is. BTW, why would you want a port that isn't reversible like USB C lol...

Well do you sell me a docking station with that laptop?

Or are you going to let me get buy some adapter dongles?

How about more USB c ports?

I’m glad I can plug in one port and have a dual display setup, all peripherals, speakers, ethernet, charging, etc connected at my desk in one go.

If I want to leave, unplug one thing and I’m good to go.

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 actually prefer the standardization here. Sick of having 2 boxes of different cords.

Problem: This is what happens when you pick Apple.

Why not complain about them not having a floppy drive anymore while you’re at it? That’s as obsolete as the non USB-C ports.

Is this rage bait? Those are different macbooks. I think the bottom ones are pros. My current Pro M2 has HDMI and magsafe. My M1 (Air?) is like the top one, but is not in fact a pro and therefore does not provide as many ports.

The annoying thing is they're not even that much thinner. They've just reshaped the edge to make it look like there isn't room for real ports.

Yes, they should totally bring back the firewire port!
