  • Are you being facetious? It's clearly not the same having to work because you're a medic vs being a programmer or whatever else for a random private company.

  • If you actually read the page, you'll find that it does have a price for the rent. The other part was precisely my point. Rent in Japan is a lot lower. 1500 includes rent and cost of living.

  • I said "including" rent. The rent alone is about 560USD. I haven't lived in Zurich but I know for a fact that Basel is about twice as expensive.

  • Afaik Japan is actually kind of cheap. About 1500 per month including rent in Tokyo if this is right.

    The overtime thing depends on your actual job. It's not like literally everyone is being exploited.

  • If you don’t need them they’re just more cost

    Yeah, tell me another joke. the cost is negligible. Literally from cents to a few dollars for the manufacturer.

    more holes where water/debris can get into the machine

    This literally never happened to me or anyone I know.

    more wrong holes to plug the charger into

    If you plug in your usb-c/barrel jack charger into an ethernet/hdmi/displayport input, you deserve to have a broken laptop xD

    If you do need them, then buy a machine that has them - there are plenty.

    Not really true, but ok. Keep on preaching for companies that screw over consumers :)

  • Why move the goalpost though? I'm not narrowing it down to a specific user in a specific setting. I'm just saying that more flexibility == more better.

    Why would you make up a specific scenario to justify getting a inferior product (from a usability standpoint) than we used to?

  • Yeah and most don't have a lot of ports. Hence, this post and the issue.

  • You misunderstood. They use those monitors when actually working in a stationary place with their desktop setup. However, it's very common to then have to go to your client's office to show them said work or discuss future steps. At which point having multiple port options comes in handy if you have to plug in to a tv, monitor or projector.

    You can't seriously consider asking for hdmi and displayport on a laptop a "specific need".

  • A couple more ports wouldn't make your laptop "chonky".

  • Congrats for you. However, if you consider that other people use their computer in a different way, would it really be that bad if your computer were imperceptibly heavier so that everyone could use use it how they prefer?

  • Well, that sucks. Mine came with an hdmi, a displayport cable ans a usb-a to usb-b 3.0 cable for the monitor's hub (it has an integrated kvm). To me it makes 100% sense to include at least 1 cable for each type of input in the monitor. If you're fine with getting short-changed by manufacturers then good for you, I guess.

  • Technically, yes. However, show me a monitor that comes with a dp to usb-c cable. Included cables are 99% the same connector on botj ends. That means that you'd need to buy extra cables (or a hub) for all of you non usb-c ports/devices.

    Which is unnecessary and also precisely my point.

  • If you're worried about 50-100gr then you should hit the gym my friend.

    Also, that hub you'd have to carry around weighs more than just having the ports on the laptop.
