    K then buddy. Keep buying dongles for your dongles.

    My point is that including the ports is extremely simple. I’m not telling you that it’s wrong to choose to use a dock because you find it more convenient. I’m just saying that you could have the option instead of that being the only option you have. There’s no technical reason to not include the actual physical separate ports.

    Also, monitors and your earbuds? That’s a very low bar. Lots of different tasks would require far more than that. Devices should be flexible.

        Yeah, show me a laptop that has 10 of those. Plus, your conveniently ignoring the plethora of adapters you’d have to use if all you had were USB-C ports.
