My work recently bought me a new laptop. I could have picked anything. I went with the now-3-years-old mbp, with sane ports. The fact they still sell them new probably means there are a lot of people who think like me.

If I’d purchased a new model, I would’ve also needed to purchase a fistful of dongles. It makes no sense.

And I would have had to use the awful keyboard. I don’t like the feel of it, but I can deal with that. What I can’t deal with is the keys randomly failing due to minor dirt, as so many reports indicate. I travel for work and it would be a catastrophe if the space key stopped working.

I also really wish they would add a lightning port to the mbp, so I could take just one set of headphones with me.
