    That’s true and good, but I still want to be able to plug on an HDMI or Ethernet cable without a damn adapter.

      The laptop may actually be too thin for either. Want those ports? Vote with your money, buy a different laptop.

      As for hdmi at least, you can get a usb-c-ended cable too.

        Look at that top picture again. It’s not thinner. Look how much of a taper it has to make you think its thinner.

        Looking at the bottom one, the back of the screen has gotten thinner compared to the others, but the bottom has barely changed. They lie to you, port thickness has zero bearing on how thin the laptops are, its all lies

      Thankfully USB-C can handle both of those protocols. Just like with Micro USB and Mini before it, it will just take time until the ecosystem catches up. Just, this time, you can run the entirety of possible data streams through a single port.

            In many settings you get a hdmi cable where the other end is installed out of view, so that’s not an option. But HDMI is a bad standard anyways, so I’m fine with having to carry an adapter
