What's there to laugh at?

Now you have one port for everything, rather than like 2 USB ports, 1 headphone jack, 1 mic, 1 HDMI slot, 1 VGA slot, 1 SD card, 1 Micro SD card, 1 charging port, 1 disc drive, 1 USB port. It's a waste of space.

Also 1 port looks better than many ports.

>>52284641

No, it's actually designed that badly in reality. They ciuldn't fit spring loading for the micro sd in there so they just let the tip of the card with the connectors in.

>>52284627
If it wasn't apple priced, i would be totally interested in this idea.

No ports for on the go mode, but have a little port hub for if i need it.

I rarely plug anything in my devices anymore.

>>52284611
This.

the one hub, add on ports is a great idea.

You could also only get ports you actually want rather than getting something with firewire still attached for some fucking reason.

So people don't nuke the mouse's battery and render the wireless aspect of it moot by just leaving it plugged in all the time. People do that kind of shit.

It's not a problem if you just remember to plug it in before going to bed.

so instead of ports on your laptop, you need to bring an extra device with ports in case you want to use a port in your laptop

>>52285236
>So people don't nuke the mouse's battery ... by just leaving it plugged in all the time.
Because fast charging the battery won't kill it just as fast.

>>52284611
You don't need to restrict yourself to one port to use a hub. You can use a hub with any laptop.

>>52285137
Four. USB, two 3.5 mm jacks and power.

the overwhelming majority of laptops these days don't support docks the way you're thinking of (the 90's and early 00's era dock that locks a laptop in).

I interned at MSR over the summer and they issued me a Thinkpad Carbon X1 or whatever. The "dock", such as it was, is just a USB hub. That's great, but it's fundamentally the same idea as Apple uses with the Macbook in the OP.

If anything, a dock connecting by USB port means that I don't need to worry if the "dock"ing mechanism will work with my next laptop.

It's unfortunate that the Macbook has one port. I wouldn't have designed it that way and I wouldn't buy it if I was in the market for a new laptop. But in this one instance, the idea of a single peripheral that plugs into the laptop that gives you Micro/SD ports, USB, charging, etc... is a good move.

I wish it had Ethernet, but I have niche needs for ethernet.

>>52284531
It's weird that it only has the one USB-C port. I mean, it's obvious why - no native USB 3.1 in the Intel Skylake chipset - but it's still silly. Hopefully the Kaby Lake refresh chipset fixes that: I gather AMD's chipsets for Zen will.

USB-C doesn't have to be USB 3.1.

>>52284483
that's not an apple product. it's a Hyperdrive USB-C Hub™. it doesn't even use thunderbolt

>>52287172
is 3.1 highly superior to 3.0 ?
At first I thought Type C is only 3.1, so that was something over the 3.0, but if Type C can be on both, how much better is the 3.1 ?

>>52287190
Type C can even be 2.0. See 90% of phones with type c.

>>52287207
Eh, I thought type c was revolutionary
Well I guess them being reversible is pretty good improve over the Micro USB too
Phones should start using it faster, even if 2.0, it seems like a much better connector than micro USB

Would have been great if it had at least 3 usb c ports
But noo, apple had to cheap out on the controllers

I feel like it should have at least have an audio output in addition to the charging port.

Other than that people don't really use any external devices daily on their laptop.

The funny thing about this MacBook, which is their worst yet, is that as soon as phones and everything starts using usb-c, Apple will stop.

>>52289583
>eating junk food and drinking diet soda
ouch, how did you guess?

what sent my delicate psycho-emotional balance into absolute chaos was the bit on Apple's website about styluses being a revolutionary technology. i couldn't take it anymore. i snapped. i need professional help.

>>52289607
I have a 128GB flash drive on my keychain. Have had it for at least 6 months (I had a 16GB flash drive for several years before it).

I used neither of them more than once in the last 3 years. I study CS and use multiple computers every day - my home setup is actually two computers (one laptop and one desktop that drives a few 4k monitors), so it's not for lack of opportunity.

I'm not saying nobody anywhere ever uses flash drives, but Apple made a bet that there are lots of consumers who won't mind not being able to transfer data from one flash drive to another, and I think that wasn't an insane bet for them to make.

If you want to illustrate the limitations that a single port introduces, this is such a weak one to choose that I'm just now realizing I might've missed that you were joking. Were you?

>>52284611
OR, you could plug 1 hub into 1 port while still having 5 other ports. Why do you need to be restricted to 1 port in order to use a hub?

>>52289643
Just meditate or something. Companies exist - maybe even in your field of interest - that will sell products not designed or intended for you.

Any laptop without at least 2 USB ports is useless and should be tossed out the nearest window

>>52285493
>Out and about

Bitch please, you haven't been out in a year.

>>52284611

So you don't have to plug each individual thing on each port of the hub? Nice magic device you have there. All you're doing is adding up a useless step AND charging for it.

>have to buy hub
>have to plug in hub
>have to plug in each separate thing on each separate port on the hub

>>52285031
So it's either you buy an adaptor for the Mac or a docking station for anything else....

Don't really think your helping the side your arguing for shlomo

I used to get pissed off at the existence of the MacBook, but now that I think about it I'll never buy one and other people who do aren't my concern as long as they don't try to force me to use the thing. There will always be systems for those of us who need more.

When I come home I plug in power, keyboard, mouse, 2 monitors and headphones in my laptop. On the go I never used any of the ports. Honestly one port with an adapter would work for me and I would even prefer it...

>>52289888
>docking station

I literally take my laptop out of my bag, set it down on the docking station, push down and I'm done

>>52290149
are we going to compare the amount of effort it takes to align and press down a laptop versus plug in a USB cable?

because this is real high level shit if that's the case.

>>52290149
A docking station is pretty much the same thing as an adapter. Just more plastic. My points is, one port is enough if you have a docking station/adapter. In return you get amazing mobility. I'm glad Apple released the MacBook so I can pick up a single port Windows laptop in one or two years when everyone plays catch up.

>>52290177
>effort it takes to align and press down a laptop
If you've ever used this sentence, you're such a morbidly obese fatass that the ideal thing for you is to destroy your computer right now so you get more exercise instead of sitting around.

What's funny about this? It looks pretty rad to me.

>>52289820
>they aren't forcing me
If everyone bought only laptops like that, you'd be forced. Everyone buying one is slightly forcing you.

What the fuck? did apple really move to the smartphone style "one port for everything"?
I can't use usb with my phone even though the hardware supports it because charging ports are used heavily and get the shit kicked out of them and aren't reliable enough for data.
I thought they understood this and that's why they had the big heavy quick-release magsafe connector....
