sigfried5327y@jhh2450 but that's an adaptor. The point is that is should be in the laptop itself no external cluster fuck

Fradow9087yOn an Ethernet port, you can only plug in an Ethernet cable.
On a Thunderbolt port, I can plug in a screen (vga, hdmi or thunderbolt), an ethernet, another Mac (either iMac for target display, or any Mac in target disk, saved my bacon once on non-booting Mac), and probably a few other things I don't know.
Is carrying adapters cumbersome? Sure. But you know what's really a pain in the ass? When you cannot use a screen because you only have HDMI and it's VGA (or the other way around).
Also, this port looks fragile as fuck. So many moving part, it's going to fail pretty soon under heavy usage. -
I once saw a laptop that had a sort of mini VGA plug, with a built-in adapter you had to unfold in order to use a conventional VGA... Looked quite hacky like that solution

@sigfried Not even a cluster fuck.
I'd much rather use this that have that piece of shit looking thing on my laptop that like @heymyrthe said, look easily breakable. -
pratyay4727y@jhh2450 that's a workaround..there will always be workarounds.. Doesn't beat the real thing
