Depends on your use. The only ports I don't use on my mac are the Mini dvi. I use both USBs daily, HDMI when at friends, and the SD card slot for loading pictures from clients - and don't want to carry adapters around with me. The loss of MagSafe is another big one.
Kinda defeats the purpose having a nice sleek macbook only having to plug something like this into it

- blktiger 9y agoApple has always been early on technology changes like USB-C, in a couple years we'll look back on this like when the iMac dropped the floppy drive. USB-C is obviously better, it's just a matter of time before everything uses it.
- subway 9y agoApple has been anything but early on USB-C.
- blktiger 9y agoHow many laptop had only USB-C before the MacBook in early 2015? The spec was only finalized in August 2014.
- snovv_crash 9y agoAnd then they released new laptops in late 2015 with no USB-C ports. And 2 iterations of phones.
- yellow_viper 9y agoDoesn't really matter if it's better. TVs still use HDMI and most likely will for another 10+ yr. They're just reducing the functionality of the laptop.
