Are there any current production laptops that place the AC, and Ethernet port in the back where they belong, and not off to the side where they look ugly, in the way of everything else?

Everyfucking model right now has the AC port sticking like 2 inches out of the side, and an Ethernet port on the opposite side making a desktop bound laptop a complete fucking mess. I miss the god old days when "permanent" I/Os where all in the back, and out of the fucking way.
Except USB ports. Always on the side.

Oh you're one of those retards who uses a laptop as a main computer.
>>
>>59024062
No, I'm one of those people who has a work laptop for work because I also work from home, so I deal with shitty USB docks, and the need to stay hardwired during the day for fast internet use, and file transfer.

Company is too cheap to give me a second dock for home use, and I'm not spending any money on this POS.

AC port on the right
NIC on the left
1 USB port on the right
2 USB ports on the left.

When this thing is fully plugged into everything I need its just a huge fucking mess taking up twice the deskspace that it should. Fuck HPs

Stop working for a shitty company that doesn't give real computers for people to use.

I don't know why you said "no" when you then go on to explain that you use it as your main computer for work. 10/10 logic there buddo

if you're looking for higher end, the dell precision 7510 and 7710 have both the AC and ethernet ports on the back. if you're looking for cheap, clevo makes a ton of machines with the AC port on the back.

The donglebook pro (TM) doesn't have this problem. Just attach the proprietary dongleplus (R) connector and glue to any side of your donglebook pro (TM). Pure magic

i think thinkpads have the power and ethernet in back still, don't they?

security card read, usb, vga, etc is all on the sides though

Not to my knowledge, but the T420s and T430s thinkpads do. You could also get a regular T, X, or W*20 or *30 and spend $20-30 on a dock.

That's some serious dislike for USB C. For what reason do you not want to see USB tech move forward like that?
>>
>>59026109
There is nothing wrong with USB type C. There is, though, a lot wrong with the way Apple is attempting to push it. It would be fine if they used it as charging and had another one for possible accessories that use the new interface, but it would be even more intelligent on their behalf to leave at least one "regular" USB port, not to mention an SD card slot. Instead, they decided to go the jew route and force you to buy dongles and adapters, and you bought into their bullshit.

I like having a physical heavy dock that stays in place when you remove the laptop, and not some flimsy plastic dongle with a wrong side USB cable.
>>
>>59026336
What is better:
>A hueg 9000 pin proprietary connector with no replacements
or
>12-pin $10 cable that can be replaced if something is wrong

>too cheap to give me a second dock
Stop working for shitty companies. HP ultraslim docks are like $100 before any discounts. I doubt lenovo and dell charge much more. My company issues all IT staff outside of helpdesk and NOC a laptop, a dock and a desktop. When I occasionally work from home so I requested a second dock and they issued me one without any questions.
>>
>>59026285
HP elitebooks still have docks, it uses some proprietary connector on the side of the laptop. I believe thinkpads still have a dock connector on the bottom.

Ok, you know better than 700 billion dollar Apple on how to conduct business in the tech world. Apple must have just became the most valuable company in the world by doing dumb things.

but yes i dont get why they dont put connectors on the back anymore.i assume its because the way they do it now lets the display have a stronger hinge
>>
>>59032168
Putting it off to the side gives you a visual reminder that the thing is plugged in. So you don't accidentally fuck your power port when you yank your laptop up off whatever it was resting on.
