My dongolences.

idk unfortunately i’m definitely in the group of people who is fine with a tiny bit of compromise for a bit of thinness, i’d rather have a slightly thinner laptop and a couple of adapters for ethernet/displayport etc

it’s when companies exclude ports when they clearly could have fit them that annoys me, like modern windows laptops without headphone jacks, or when laptops only have micro sd slots when a fullsize sd card reader is essential for using 95% of cameras made in the past like 15 years, probably motivated purely by cost cutting

i don’t use a macbook but a macbook pro with a charge port + 3x usb 4 + hdmi + sd is in my opinion almost the perfect compromise

i don’t understand who even wants a laptop so thin it can legitimately cut soft bread, i understand wanting them light but surely you want a laptop to fit your hand when closed???
I’m equally baffled with the insistence on thin phones, are people not holding them? Do the thin edges not dig into their hands??

my ideal laptop format would be a thinkpad x220t with a thinner screen and maybe like 5mm shaved off the body thickness, other than that it’s just… optimal… (especially being able to actually hold it by the battery, why would i not want to be able to use my laptop while standing?)
Again the thing that actually needs reducing is weight, shrink the internals to a single board and keep the chassis the same.

Margins on peripherals are much higher in comparison to the base unit.

well now its all like that not only apple yeah

i have cardreader/hdmi/charge/jack three thunderbolt 4 ports

thunderbolt 4/3 is sosossosos insanely awesome ports, but helll 90% of shit still using usb-a ports

and still 3 ports is very small amount

pls dont send me overinfluenced shit, you can just send link not picture or not specifiend one product

yeah i like anker products, but there fcking problem is budget often they cost like 30-40$, me n my family got much poorer now, so even if i have macbook pro 2021 im poor now to buy things more than few dollars

this arm i was got OEM, by sortting much cheapest

also i got recently expensive headphones, so again i cant spend much on tech

Daaaamn… I have a nice setup I made for myself on each of my desks that does basically all of this, just lacking DP. It was much less money (50 bucks per setup or so, 80 if you count the power brick I suppose) but one single box for everything is really tempting. Thank you for sharing, I’ll keep this in mind!

hehehhehehe, my brain is quite mess now, so its different minutes and different throughts hit

I’m not downvoting you but I looooove my hubs! I got a MacBook Air, first Mac since… 16 years ago? I missed my nice plethora of ports on my old 15” pro, but now I wouldn’t give up the tiny-oscity of the lil guy for more ports. I was mortified at the cost of docks at first (a hundred moneys?! Insanity!) but I found some inexpensive docks with HDMI/USB C/USB A and used Dual Lock to mount them around the house. I made it a mission to make them as clean as possible and I think I did really well!

My home docks are plugged into nice 65W bricks and connect my laptop to power, monitor, keyboard/mouse 2.4GHz, Ethernet, and audio (split speakers and headphones.) It’s magical that one USB-C port can plug so many things in.

My to-go bag has my MagSafe thing, BT mouse, and some USB A-to-C adapters. Sometimes I’ll bring a lil dock. But I don’t find myself needing them very often!

framework good, but in my shithole is not officially available and only thru scammers with +200% overprice

i trying to use that usually yeah, but there still not enough ports to put everything
