    The laptop may actually be too thin for either. Want those ports? Vote with your money, buy a different laptop.

    As for hdmi at least, you can get a usb-c-ended cable too.

      “Extremely thin” is pretty low on my list of features I want.

      If making it a bit thicker gives me ethernet and HDMI then make it thicker. A laptop moves from place to place, and not needing dongles / specialist cables makes it far easier to jump on anybodies desk and just plug in.

        The only thing that’s gotten thinner are the screens. Look at the pictures again there is a huge taper on the bottom half of all but the white one on bottom. The screens have got thinner, the rest is just lies

        Exactly. And most laptops are thick enough if they remove the stupid curve that makes them look thinner than they are. I’ve even seen laptops with a flip down RJ-45 port so it can maintain the profile.

      Look at that top picture again. It’s not thinner. Look how much of a taper it has to make you think its thinner.

      Looking at the bottom one, the back of the screen has gotten thinner compared to the others, but the bottom has barely changed. They lie to you, port thickness has zero bearing on how thin the laptops are, its all lies
