The pursuit of the “perfect body.”
I never use the ports on my laptop. It never bothered me that they removed them all. Granted I know that’s just my use case I can t speak for everyone.
I’m on the other side wishing peripherals would catch up and all become USB-C already. I’m tired of USB-A.
to be fair, the bandwidth of all the ports on the bottom laptop probably fit in 1 (maaaaybe 2? Just spitballing here) Thunderbolt 5 ports depending how fast the ethernet port is. BTW, why would you want a port that isn’t reversible like USB C lol…
Meh… Did they really? Or do you just choose the worst?
Fades is either drinking Apple flavor Kool-Aid or has been fully brainwashed by apple into thinking everything is okay because a company said “you don’t care, you’re stuck here with us.”
It’s really sad how people will bootlick for any company once they bought enough products.
Do the bottom two have the same charging port? Impossible!
Also, my first time seeing the newer FireWire and whatever the video output is…
Where’s the magsafe ?
M1 Air.
were you replying to me ?
Yes, the M1 Air doesn’t have one.
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.
Where is the removable battery? Did ANY Apple laptops have that?
Yes, pre 2013 models had a screwed in battery. I had a 2011 pro that I changed/upgraded the ram, hard drive, and battery myself.
Oh sweet child. What has Apple done to people? A removable battery looks like this:

You just snap it onto the computer. No disassembly. No tools. No screws. All laptops and cell phones except Apple used to have them. You could carry several charged batteries with you and swap them as needed. Some laptops even used two, so you could hot swap with no power interruption.
And we walked to school barefoot, in the snow, uphill both ways. :)
ThinkPad gang laughing in redundant tf ports
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.
As someone who daily drives a laptop for work and does field work on server facilities, finding a modern replacement that has both a RJ45 port and square USB (USB-A?) ports available on both sides, has been a pain in the hassle.
And I’m not even crying over the loss of VGA any longer. That one I can live without.
To make our laptops look clean and minimalistic, they made us buy a bunch of dongles and adapters.
Screw it, I’m buying a rugged laptop with the thickness of a desktop PC next
All you need is a couple of USB-C ports and maybe a HDMI port on most modern laptops. More is good but not a requirement.
