Kind of amusing that Apple was the first with USB ports and now they are eliminating them. A USB mouse makes using laptops lots easier. So if I buy one of these clown items I will need a USB spiltter

The Apple cult is an S&M cult with Yonny Ives the sadist they all obey.
The OCDness off all this is cool!!
I love it!

Rock on Apple FanBois! You are simply the best! May Yonny and Timmy and the Cupertino gangstas continue to pick your pockets

Screw Apple and its homosexual CEO Tim Cook

The macbook is a stupid product and is going to bomb.

Apple CEO Tim Cook: ‘I’m proud to be gay’

I’m not buying anything made by FAGGOTS and no other conservative should either.

Oh sure I can buy a hub but does the hub work as both a charging port and an I/O port at the same time?

There is such a thing as killing a motherboard by charging "stuff" via the USB. Better hasten to your local alleged Genius store, go ask the clones there about it.
Yonny-Timmy are not morons so that one USB port is prolly heavy duty and can handle even two devices charging.....

Just buy a high quality-heavy duty>>>>  USB splitter/multi port/what have you

I have never bought an Apple anything. Never will. The only way I might cave and buy some Apple item is due to Apple encryption

The best thing physically about Macbooks over any PC laptop was the magnetic charging cable. You move your laptop the wrong way and the cord just popped off. With Dells, Compaqs, and all other devices, you move the laptop the wrong way and you’ve killed the charging port.

I had always assumed that nobody else did the magnetically attached induction loop cable is because of patents. Now Apple is taking a step backwards by using a micro USB charging port?

Apple is going to fall hard, this is the beginning of the end for them.

The gibsmedats can’t afford I Phones, it’s conservatives that buy this faggots products.

Once more REAL AMERICANS find out about Mr. “Proud to be Gay” Tim Cook, all bets are off.

Short the stock now, it’ll be down 40% within a year.

It has a USB port - USB 3.

Actually kind of intriguing. At work my docking station runs on USB. Plug everything into this tower, USB to the computer.

The way Apple presents itself disgusts me but they are only the worst example of projecting corporate gayness. Many other US corporations do the same but on a lower level. If they had the juice they would be as in your face as Apple.... Its a sign of the times and a bad one.

You’re the fool.

I wont support a company run by a homosexual progressive socialist democrat climate change liar.

Why would you?

“Apple CEO to Global Warming Deniers: We Don’t Want Your Money

At the Shareholders meeting, NCPPR [National Center for Public Policy Research] asked Apple to pledge that Apple would not pursue environmental initiatives unless they helped increase profit. Cook did not hesitate. Even though some environmental policies can be good for the bottom line, “we do a lot of things for reasons besides profit motive,” Cook said. “We want to leave the world better than we found it.” And anyone who objects? “Get out of the stock.”

“Apple CEO Tim Cook is a wicked smart guy”

Well, when “Thimmy” stated homos like himself are God’s special people, he showed the world he is indeed wickedly evil and a follower of satan.

I’m sorry, but this article says to me “You only need what we give you - not what you actually use”. This represents what Apple (and other manufacturers) WANT the public to think - not what the public actually DOES or SHOULD think.

Unfortunately, Apple’s not the only one.

I just went to pick out a new laptop. Had a heckuva time finding one with an onboard Ethernet port and an onboard serial port. And forget having a built-in DVD drive anymore.

Docking stations have been replaced by “hubs” that don’t charge the machine. Real useful.

On the bright side, in return for giving up all the things I needed, I can get Windows 8 and a touchscreen.

woopee.

The trend seems to be to make laptops operate more like tablets. That’s great if your intention is to fondle it for entertainment purposes. But if you want to actually get some work done on the machine, it’s getting harder and harder to find one that is built for that.

You’re a fool because you talk like a drunk in a redneck bar and dismiss excellent work by thousands of people who are no different from those working for any other computer company - all to indulge in your hate fetish against gays. All you accomplish by that is making a caricature of conservatism, which just so happens to be based on the Constitution, the free market, and privacy - not your bellowing bigotry.

If you’re not going to find the courage to admit that you want to execute gays for being gay, then shut the hell up and allow them to live in peace. Their existence is not the problem, their use as a front by socialism is the problem, and that’s true of every type of liberal.

Also, you find a computer made by a clean company, let me know. In the mean time, you just keep typing away on the net while using a computer assembled by Chinese communist slave labor, like they ALL are.

Sorry that life isn’t conveniently painted in blocks for you, but it’s NOT.

So go buy a Windows PC and enjoy knowing that you are contributing to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation....
