Almost every laptop does have a dedicated HDMI port
Yeah, **one **HDMI port and no DisplayPort.
If youre in an office you can be expected to use a dock
Why move the goalpost though? I'm not narrowing it down to a specific user in a specific setting. I'm just saying that more flexibility == more better.
Why would you make up a specific scenario to justify getting a inferior product (from a usability standpoint) than we used to?
That's my whole point; No, more ports isn't more better. If you don't need them they're just more cost, more holes where water/debris can get into the machine, and more wrong holes to plug the charger into. If you do need them, then buy a machine that has them - there are plenty.
Yeah, tell me another joke. the cost is negligible. Literally from cents to a few dollars for the manufacturer.
This literally never happened to me or anyone I know.
If you plug in your usb-c/barrel jack charger into an ethernet/hdmi/displayport input, you deserve to have a broken laptop xD
Not really true, but ok. Keep on preaching for companies that screw over consumers :)
