I won’t need dongles when I start traveling again.

There we go! Only thing missing is the old school USB-A port.

One thing I hate about these new computers is all you get is a bunch of type c ports for everything. Now you got to buy a bunch of cheap dongles for your thousand dollar work machine. Who ever needed for USB-C ports anyway.

It’s crazy that Apple is getting the port situation right now that Microsoft has thrown all of those ports in the bushes. They have to be fuming.

    Yeah Apple has a history of getting rid of frequently used ports before the replacement is popular, they've done it over and over again. This is the first time I've seen them take a step back this drastically. When I upgrade I'm going to love not having to take a USB-C to HDMI adapter for presentations.

    Also, getting rid of magsafe was so stupid in the first place but I got used to having all USB-C. Having 4 for them will be ideal once all manufactures move over to it.

    @Invincible1914 the Touch Bar is stupid, I barely use it. I trained my whole life not to look at the keyboard while typing and the Touch Bar is asking me to reverse all of that.

    This site was made on a Mac.

    All you PC lovers on Laptops that look like this. Straight up junk and if it don't look like this it looks like a fake Mac.

    I never liked apple computers but I know they are solid for anyone who works with video, music, or graphics. A friend of mine who is going to school right now for graphic design and video editing said everyone in the class is rocking a MacBook but like one person. lol
    People say that but it ain’t true. you can’t go wrong with win or Mac for creative endeavors.

    Probably just a marketing thing then that tricked them. I never used one so I have no clue. Either way, they make their sales off a lot of college students!

    For nerds, I totally concur. Not everyone got time to be writing custom drivers for a barcode scanner. When it’s time to scan some ish, I need to scan some ish.
    I would agree if we were having this exchange 15 years ago.

    Me move quick because we can. We don't wait for blessings to come down from Nadella or Cook. Freedom!
