Extra ports are great in theory, and I don't hate that they exist, because I'm pretty sure I'll use them 2-3 times a year and that's still useful, but I'd love my MacBook Pro just as much if it just had a 4th TB port just like my Intel MacBook Pro does.ġ) They make this M2 14" MacBook (and label it as MacBook and not "Pro"). These would have been big deals in 2015, but today, I have to go out of my way to use them. Even when I was traveling, it made no sense to pack a MagSafe cable because USB-C is such a simpler choice because I can charge my camera, my iPad, and my laptop all with one charger and cable.Īs for HDMI, people complain about dongles, but there's this thing called a USB-C to HDMI cable and a good one is like $15, same as an HDMI to HDMI cable. Even if I have a tiny 30 W charger, if I'm not using the computer, it charges just fine.

I don't use MagSafe because I have lots of USB-C chargers around the house whereas I have one MagSafe cable. And if I go back to using a camera with CF-E cards (highly likely in 2022), I really won't ever use the SD card reader.

I used the SD card reader once when I first got it before realizing that on my dual SD card slot camera, using an USB-C cable to the camera could get me pictures off both cards at once without having to take out the cards, whereas using the built-in was legit more annoying, and considering I have 256 GB cards, I like never having to remove cards, ever. I don't use the MagSafe, SD card reader, or HDMI on mine. This subreddit is not endorsed or sponsored by Apple Inc. If you'd like to view their content together, click here.
