You misunderstood. They use those monitors when actually working in a stationary place with their desktop setup. However, it's very common to then have to go to your client's office to show them said work or discuss future steps. At which point having multiple port options comes in handy if you have to plug in to a tv, monitor or projector.
You can't seriously consider asking for hdmi and displayport on a laptop a "specific need".
Almost every laptop does have a dedicated HDMI port
Yeah, **one **HDMI port and no DisplayPort.
If youre in an office you can be expected to use a dock
Why move the goalpost though? I'm not narrowing it down to a specific user in a specific setting. I'm just saying that more flexibility == more better.
Why would you make up a specific scenario to justify getting a inferior product (from a usability standpoint) than we used to?
That's my whole point; No, more ports isn't more better. If you don't need them they're just more cost, more holes where water/debris can get into the machine, and more wrong holes to plug the charger into. If you do need them, then buy a machine that has them - there are plenty.
Yeah, tell me another joke. the cost is negligible. Literally from cents to a few dollars for the manufacturer.
This literally never happened to me or anyone I know.
If you plug in your usb-c/barrel jack charger into an ethernet/hdmi/displayport input, you deserve to have a broken laptop xD
Not really true, but ok. Keep on preaching for companies that screw over consumers :)
