Apple's new macbook is interesting if you think of it as a direct competitor to Google's Pixel. The Macbook blows the Pixel out of the water, except for ports, and makes me skeptical if I could switch to it. Chrome OS is the real reason I don't want to switch to the Pixel (and the weight).
My setup at work is a 30" monitor I plug my laptop (a 2013 Macbook Air) into and code away on, and when I'm not at my desk, I just code on my laptop. With one port (and the accessories announced so far) it's unclear how I would plug my monitor, my usb stuff (headphone amp and security key) and charge my laptop all at the same time.
Updated:
- @dmpatierno points out that Apple is now selling an $80 adapter to solve my use case.
- @isomer also brings up that the USB3.1 spec allow bidirectional power (and other things) and probably hints at Apple having a monitor to act as a hub.
