but they didn't give you an array of 7 usb-c either (power, network, external screen, external harddrive, usb-drive 1, usb-drive 2, headset)

That is true, I do not miss the old ports, but I want it to be replaced by the same amount of new ports.

Did you use all 7 ports at the same time? Computers had so many different ones because the accessories all had their own ports. It was a mess back then. Now everything is USB-C and Macbook Pros have 4 of them. Plenty of ports.

Never used more than 4 ports at the same time.. you did?

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Getting big Steve Jobs "you're holding it wrong" vibes.

[-] constantturtleaction@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Well then, at least give me 2 more USB C on the other side.

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Yes, pros need that, that why pros get them. Air user won’t use 4 ports.

If air user do, they should be pro user.

example: ethernet, power, 2 external screens, 2 usb drives, mouse > 7 things connected at once with a pretty standard setup

and yes i know docking stations are a thing but thats not the point

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

I have my Ethernet, mouse, second screen, keyboard all connected to monitor one. How do you love with a portable device that you have to plug in 7 things before you can start working..
