This is my ~8 month old work laptop.
Is a Dell.
2 usb c not pictured.
You have options.
As long as you’re not an apple cult member you do.
Apple brought back the mag charger.
I wish it still had the SD reader and one A port, but it doesn’t really come up that often. Just 3D printing and only because I’m too lazy to set up a octoprint server or whatever.
MBPs all have HDMI and SD slots… but Definitely set up the octopi with a cheap webcam. I’ve run one for years now and it’s so nice to be able to kick off and check on prints from my phone. Not to mention it doesn’t matter what computer I slice on and the files are small enough that I have gcode for almost everything I’ve printed for instant access to reprint whenever.
The apple bois wont appreciate this
I dunno - I’m pretty sure I’d choose the modern MacBook Pro’s ports over any of these other options.
An ethernet port is essential for any computer.
If you got that kind of money to spend on a laptop, sure. I really don’t.
Edit: to be clear, I know this is a stack of Mac’s in OPs picture, but the development that the entry models have basically no ports at all is a more recent development. Having to pick the pro just to be able to connect your stuff without dongles or hubs is a bit insane considering the price (and price difference).
Power, HDMI, a few USBs, and headphones, all you’ll ever likely need.
There’s no doubt a dongle for anything else.
SD card reader is nice to have if you fuck around with cameras and microphones.
We’re mindlessly bashing Apple here, we don’t need your sensible reasoning!
Where do you see Apple bashing? Most comments are about the general state of notebook ports.
Continue bashing, they use apple maths and only have ports on expensive models.
From my personal experience Apple products aren’t as great as the fanboys claim but are far far better than they haters say they are.
Where’s the magsafe ?
M1 Air.
were you replying to me ?
Yes, the M1 Air doesn’t have one.
I don’t see the problem. Type-C ports can replace all those ports. If you want more ports, buy a dock.
Right ?
My m1 MacBook is my first after a lifetime of thinkpads and dells etc.
For about a week, I thought I was short a few ports. Then I got a £20 dongle that takes 1 Port, gives me : 4 usb A, 1 USB C, all the card slots, HDMI and Ethernet.
You can plug anything into it. Life has never been easier.
My current phone lacks a headphone jack and I hate it. It would be okay if it was replaced with two usb c ports, but there’s only one which means I either choose between headphones or charging, or I must use an adapter. Or wireless, but I don’t want yet another fucking battery to charge.
I used to be against losing the headphone jack, but now I’m without one, I honestly don’t miss it.
No more wires getting caught, tangled or damaged and the sound quality is just as good unless you’re an audio engineer.
You’re on Lemmy, we’re all audio engineers/autistic
And dealing with cables is the most triggering thing I can imagine
Why not complain about them not having a floppy drive anymore while you’re at it? That’s as obsolete as the non USB-C ports.
suggest me a type c gaming controller
I’d suggest you need a desktop or console, not a MacBook.
f1 2017 works on my macbook just fine
And you can commute in a McLaren 2 hours to work, but it would be better in something economical or luxurious. Lots of people don’t use things for their intended purpose. That’s not a flex
