    Kudos to you.

    What you could do now is step out of your bubble and consider that other people have different use cases and might need or prefer to have more native ports.

    You literally lose nothing by having more connectivity options.

        I don’t see how that’s so terrible. It would slightly phisically bigger (if that) but it wouldn’t weight more and you wouldn’t need to carry around a hub.

          Of course it will weigh more, those ports and the boards to drive them weigh something.

            If you’re worried about 50-100gr then you should hit the gym my friend.

            Also, that hub you’d have to carry around weighs more than just having the ports on the laptop.

              If I’m carrying my laptop around the house, I’m carrying just the laptop, not any peripherals, whereas the dongle is in the laptop bag or on my desk.

              And I quite like being able to carry my laptop around with one hand.

                Congrats for you. However, if you consider that other people use their computer in a different way, would it really be that bad if your computer were imperceptibly heavier so that everyone could use use it how they prefer?
