Oh no! They took out ports the vast majority of users would never use in their entire life, making production cheaper and also making room for new technology to develop and evolve, while enabling whoever needs a specific port to simply buy a fucking dongle and get the job done. Oh and this also made it possible for the entire machine to be lighter and thinner, more thermally efficient and have infinitely better battery life.

The horror 🙄

Useless old school holes? I am glad they did.

Not all. If I dont get 2 USB-A ports, I ain't buying. Fortunately thinkpads still have them

All the other brands went along

(My 2020 G14 has 3 A ports and ethernet, but still...)

All the people saying buy a dongle are forgetting to mention that dongles stop working all the fucking time. It's yet another potential point of failure that stops ALL work dead in its tracks if it happens.

The pursuit of the "perfect body."
