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

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

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..

lol u serious? that's not a workout

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

😂😌 I just love plugging in a single cable, and everything is connected including 65 watt power delivery charging 😇

I guess after plugging in 7+ ports, you have cables coming from both sides of the laptop, making it very hard using it as 3th screen, I assume, at least on my desk it would be a big mess having all connected directly to the laptop.

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

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.
