CES 2016: Satechi Type-C USB Hub Updated With Pass-Through Charging for Retina MacBook

I guess that explains why dozens of USB-C-compatible accessories were released at CES, and HP released a new EliteBook Folio (a business notebook) with only USB-C ports. :rolleyes:

USB-C and wireless the future. The MacBook is the first of many notebooks that rely exclusively on USB-C for the increasingly fewer times we need to connect to peripherals with wires.

its not about the port its about only having ONE port. those other laptops announced still got at least two and are just as thin

I remember the good old days when this sort of thing was just built right into the computer...Oh wait it still is except for Apple

And this is exactly why Apple should have left these ports on the machine. Instead they insist on simplifying it so much, forcing us to purchase things like this, thus increasing Apple's profit margins. Thanks Apple! ...greedy sons a...

If you need those parts included in the machine there is always the MacBook Air and Pro models. Personally, I welcome the simplified model because it cuts down on the weight of my luggage while traveling. There are also other workarounds such as Airdrop and emailing files.

It's all in how you use your computer. While you seemingly don't like the changes found in the MacBook away from things that you think should be built in, I'm glad they have provided the option for me to not have it.

Explain to me how buying 3rd party adapters increases Apple's profit margins...

So apparently Apple only sell the Retina Macbook now and not the other 4 form tops of laptops with multiple specs available for each. Ok then.

Then don't buy this model. There are other Mac models that have these ports. Complain complain complain.

Why is this under the iOS Blog?
