Useless old school holes? I am glad they did.

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)

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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.
