Apple's next MacBook Pro

Gotta say I've been using my new MBP and I'm not missing the ports. At work, I have power into USB-C and then one USB dongle because I have a USB security token that always needs to be plugged in. That's it. Printers are all wireless.

At home, It's usually just power.

I do have a Hyperdrive that allows me to easily connect two older USB, HDMI, SD card.

That's a pretty good improvement. Only 2 cables need to be unplugged and replugged when using the MBP somewhere else and then putting it back. Otherwise, you'd have to un/replug 6 cables.

A TB dock could reduce that to a single cable.

No laptop would be immune from this setup. Is that your photo? cause it looks 'staged' -- as in "let me just plug something in all of them" kinda thing. Or its laptop user still thinking like a desktop user.

Forget thumb drives, use dropbox, forget ethernet, use wireless. etc

"cause it looks 'staged' -- as in "let me just plug something in all of them" kinda thing."

I borrowed this photo from a Reddit post titled; "This From A Trillion Dollar Company"

I thought it somewhat fitting for this thread.

So kinda staged, but I also agree with Lew -- its not bad.

If you had a Dell, you would need 7 ports and 7 cables for that same solution. I say 7, because you need a seperate power cable too.

t wasn't the USB hardware, it was functional Mac USB drivers.
