This pic leaves out the latest generation of MacBook that brings back some of those ports.
I guess OP would rather generate outrage upvotes, rather than spread the truth.
Yup, and it’s glorious. My coworkers have the newer MBPs, and it’s really nice having HDMI. They mostly still use USB-C, but they each use HDMI at least once/week (older TVs w/o airplay, for example). I’m upgrading soon, and I’m excited.
Excuse my smugness, but being excited for your premium laptop maker to bring back a feature that is standard basically everywhere (all of my four laptops have HDMI, and out of those, my two non-work ones also come with DisplayPort) is such an Apple thing
It’s like these people claiming that you need that connectivity for a lot of work were right.
Yup, and that’s why i don’t buy Apple products for personal use. This is provided by work, and mostly because we don’t want to deal with the stupid corporate image (we’ve essentially convinced them we “need” macOS for whatever reason).
If I had my choice, I’d request either a Framework or Thinkpad laptop, Framework because I can keep swap out the ports as needed, and Thinkpad because they come with enough ports, I love the Trackpoint, and the top mousepad buttons rock. But no, I have to deal with Apple’s POS hardware, so forgive me if I take joy in the little things in life, like getting an HDMI port.
