To be honest, how many ports required is down to each individual. And adding an extra 2x USB-C on the 15' model would be easy.įor example, this is a USB micro version and it's very low profile while Griffin does make a type C one (which is big but I guess it's a positive as it's easier to remove it) So, if you boil my post down to it's essence, I was listing: 2x USB-C, 2x USB-A, a MagSafe (although some sort of Mag attach USB-C might suffice - do you have a link to one? I'd question how good it would by comparison), and the SD-Card slot.

MiniDP would simply be for compatibility sake - as implied in my post, it's more of an afterthought or 'nice to have'.Īs for the ports I listed, I'm more so thinking of the 15' model, but even in the 13' model, you could easily accommodate most or all of the ports I listed.

how hard is it to just make a cable a little longer and heavier by having an adapter permanently attached? If it has a removable cable then it's even less of an problem IMO, for the 13 inch it should have been at least 2 Type C connectors with a single type A port, included one of those magnetic Type C cables that breaks apart for charging and for the 15 inch, 3 type C with 2 type A ports, same break apart cables and a SD card reader (possibly).Ī SD card reader is nice but how many of you actually use one on a daily basis? Not many eh?Īlso. So basically more ports than any other competing 13 inch 'productivity' laptop eh? What's the point in Type C then? DP can be supported over Type C where I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be that hard to get a Type C to DP cable
