"Apple's next MacBook Pro will consist entirely of dongles that you have to buy separately, after paying $2,000, just because."

MRF is my social media. I was clued into this one by a peer's post on LinkedIn.

Remember the mock-up of the Mac that had just ONE key? Might have been back in the "old forum" days.

eh, usb-c devices are out there in pretty good quantity.

It's not the kludge it was two years ago when the only choices were Apple dongles - and they decided to charge through the nose for them. (Though they came to realize fairly quickly that idea was a non-starter)

Funny.

Taken me a year to collect most of the dongles I need for use with these USBC Macs...

But I am becoming fond of this 2018 model nonetheless.

It will have a single new input that none of the current dongles will fit.

YET another reason to hang onto my mid-'10 MBP! Confusedmiley-rpg028:

We're all fairly old around here; doesn't anybody remember the doomsday debacle that was the initial iMac?
