I swear the people who decide what ports go onto laptops have never used a laptop in their life. I know now manufacturers would love to just sell you a dongle add-on or two that plugs into your USB-C port and has all of the other useful ports on it you actually need, but even before then... who needed only 1 USB-A and two lightning cable ports? When was Mini-DVI relevant?
Back in the 90s, most laptops came with a docking station or had options to buy it separately that added any port a desktop had at the time. None of this is new.
blessed be the framework laptop, you can just put in whatever ports you want
They've returned to fatter laptops with more ports. People did not like those thin MacBooks for a number of reasons.
The air is still very thin.
i have to deal with this with work laptops where i don't get to choose, they gave me a thin one without RJ45 plug, and i suppose to be happy it is nice looking and sleek, but i rather it have beefy cooling
I've refused a laptop and just use a desktop PC at work.
IT has been to our office recently and collected all the laptops. Everyone has complained that the laptops are working fine and are set up the way they like (Windows 11 capable too). IT says they have a lease contract with HP and the department doesn't own the laptops, they need to be returned every 5 years for replacement.
I look forward to "old" office IT equipment showing up on eBay. 11th Gen Intel laptops are starting to show up on eBay for £200.
That's how every place I have ever worked has been. We are on a 3 year cycle at my current place.
I miss thicker netbooks. Easy enough to repair most things, and it had every port you could ever want.
I hate the new "ultra-light" fashion. Give me thick, durable, powerful, and ported!
the framework is basically the reincarnation of old thinkpads, including the business-level hideous pricing
Man, I still lament their destruction of the aux (headphone) port. They destroyed that for the entire industry.
I love the destruction of the aux. It forced me to get a wireless headset, and I no longer have to bother untangling wires, or buying a new crappy headset every 2-3 weeks because the wires would break. Also, the quality of the sound in my wireless headset is waaaay better than any wired I ever tried.
Sure, they cost more, but the quality and convenience are so worth it, and I wouldn't have done the switch if I hadn't been forced.
Did it? All of the laptops I've gotten in the past 5 years still have those ports. But I don't buy Apple stuff.
Macbooks still have a headphone jack.
