And I want to tell you that the #donglelife (yes, it’s a hashtag) is not all that horrible for me, day to day. I have been using USB-C for a year now, on the non-Pro MacBook, so I thought I should share some of my experiences. If that gives you serious pause, I am with you and don’t have any easy answers beyond “buy the dongles and deal with them.” Lucky for you, yesterday Apple relented a bit and slashed the prices on many of its adapters. It is good and right to be unhappy that there aren’t any standard USB-A ports, MagSafe, or SD card slots on these new MacBook Pros.
There has been more talk of dongles now that Apple has gone and done it: excised all ports on the new MacBook Pros except one: USB-C.
