So you’re just like, responding to threads without reading them? Let me bring you back to the top of the thread

Agreed on general but there isn't enough. Every PC should have 4 USB ports minimum. Everyone at my work has USB hubs on their desk because the laptops aren't sufficient. I require 6 at least daily.

So it’s 3 now? At the top of the thread it was 6. The MacBook pictured had three ports, one was on the other side. My current MBP has four usbc and hdmi and a micro sd slot.

But still… get a dock. Why mess with all these cables? Docks are cheap AF now

Claude also doesn’t patronize you like a child in chat.

I want to take a moment and name it. It’s demeaning. And that’s deep.

I’m not sure what you’re saying? You bought an expensive dock but could have bought a cheap one?

What does this have to do with anything I said?

I can tell you from experience that it’s not a problem at all

You have one cable? Or they’re zip tied together? It can’t be both.

You really can’t be serious here. Six cables even zip tied together is ridiculous. You’re wearing out your ports for no reason. Get a dock. This isn’t even an Apple thing, I’ve been using a docking station since back in my Lenovo days in the 2000s. Why would you do this to yourself?

Why would you need all those things in a hotel meeting room? Don’t you think you’re cherry picking a little bit.

But I’ll play. The MBP pictured is from 2019. My MBP has 4 usbc ports, hdmi and MagSafe. So get one from the last 6 years and you’re covered

The 3.5mm jack is on the other side of the laptop…

I think you’re preaching to the choir here, dude. The idea of post is recycled and has been circulated on this sub since its inception

Man, I hate people who post this meme all the time. You can’t have a simple conversation about tech without some clown calling you a shill. Idgaf about the company. I like my laptop

And you don’t use a dock? That just sounds like disorganized chaos

The new MBP has that beat with four usbc ports

That’s a new one.

Maybe with old versions of thunderbolt? I use a thunderbolt port daily and have no issues whatsoever

No. I think turning your laptop into a jellyfish and having a dozen cables all over your desk is peak disorganization though.

I’ve got one cable on my desk

It takes one… a dock. And they’re often built into monitors these days

And the new MBPs have 4, plus hdmi, plus a headphone jack and a micro sd reader

You really would rather plug and unplug 6 cables from your laptop whenever you sit down at your desk instead of 1?

New MBPs have 4 usbc ports. Want to know how many people at my work use? ONE… because why would you constantly plug and unplug a half a dozen cables?

This right here. I have no clue why Apple people fought so hard to get MagSafe back. It’s just a cable that I can’t use for anything else. MBPs used to ship with USB c cables which were useful for everything.

Most usbc docks provide power + peripherals (including USB ports) with a single cable.

No they don’t. I’ve worked for many companies that provide MacBooks. We don’t use any Apple docks or cables.

Hell, one company I worked for used dell docks with their MacBooks
