Holding back on USB-C ports on the MacBook Air strikes me as callous disregard for the technical needs of the customer. And in that sense, Apple is just shaving dimes and forcing the purchaser into a technical corner-possibly for reasons cited above. How can a MacBook Air buyer possibly survive with just two USB-C ports?
#WHY MACBOOK USB C PRO#
Our family MacBook Pro (2018) has all four USB-C ports full, and more would be welcome. Two stirrups are really the minimum.īut the company, following Apple, charges more for the pro saddle with two stirrups. It’s just that the pro rider is more skilled. But most any rider has two legs and rides in the same fashion and does the same basic things. To get two stirrups, one has to buy the pro version of the saddle. A company sells a horse saddle with one stirrup-allegedly for average riders. Perhaps an analogy will clarify my point.
An obsession to make the MacBook Air appear clean and svelte.At any rate, the cable+adapter combo works. (It might be USB-3 instead of 2, Im not sure). Both the keyboard and the laptop require USB-C, so my cable is USB-C->USB-2 with a USB2->USB-C adapter. Make a tacit admission that the buyer is going to need dongles and docks anyway. I have a wired keyboard (Drop Ctrl) plugged into a port on my Macbook Pro, and its working.A sales strategy designed to make the prospective buyer realize the obvious (more ports are better) and opt for a MacBook Pro instead of Air.A faux justification, in part, for the MacBook Pro’s higher price.So why might Apple cripple the MacBook Air? It’s the power of the MacBook Pro that allows it to perform tasks faster, and more ports aren’t required to utilize that internal power. Ethernet: check (if Wi-Fi not available or allowed).Keyboard and mouse (or trackball): check.The reality is that when a mobile MacBook of some kind is brought back to the home or office and hooked up, the things it has to connect to remain in common. Very roughly:
