Increasing costs and decreased user ability are byproducts of closed source proprietary systems.

To be honest I just need two ports and had to pay for more…
I remember my first and only macbook pro was the second from the bottom.
This is what they took from us.
So much space saved!*
*does not include the dozen dongles you are now forced to bring along and didn't need before.
so true
Maybe, but to be fair the USB-C can do everything all those other ports do combined.
I remember working Helpdesk back in the day. Everyone wanted Macs. Macs were "perfect" in the average person's eyes. We tried to warm them of how proprietary they are but no one wanted to listen. Here we are 15+ years later.
This image just pissed me off 😵💫
I bought the first unibody MacBook Pro for $1,234 in 2009 and bought the one on the top for the same price in 2021.
The only crime was removing the headphone jack.
Fire up Photoshop on that bottom lappy and tell me its better HA!! Decreased usability to use FireWire 400?? Have you lost your mind.
