This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
My brand new ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 has HDMI, two USB-A 5Gbps ports, a headset jack, a half-height Ethernet port, as well as two thunderbolt 4 ports and an optional smartcard reader.
I agree that Apple kinda inadvertently ruined the port selection on many laptops for a while but it's gotten better over the years; even Apple brought back HDMI and SD-Card readers.
As long as the bare necessities is available e.g 14" with HDMI, 2 Type C with PD and DP Alt, MicroSD/SD card reader, smart card reader(?), 2 USB A 3.1, 1x 3.5mm jack, 1x ethernet port, kensington and easy maintenance, for me it's enough. VGA connectors (dang those older projectors) can be handled with VGA to HDMI adapter.
My daily device is T14 G1 AMD with dualbooting separate SSD (M.2 WWAN slot used as SSD).
Honestly for some specific use cases where the computer being very light is needed, this is great, but the fact every mac has this now is a little crazy.
Yeah, but at least they permit you to use the right mouse button.
Where's the magsafe ?
M1 Air.
were you replying to me ?
Yes, the M1 Air doesn't have one.
Toslink, or what's that?
