Of course, Apple started this trend, but it’s definitely made it’s way along to other high-end laptops and tablets, such as the Surface from Microsoft, and shows no sign of abating. I mean, it’s all well and good saying that certain ports have been removed to make the form factor thinner and therefore more portable, but now I have to carry around a big block of extra ports that I then have to dangle from my expensive portable as well. As we move into an age where seemingly all but the charging port and a USB-C connector are removed from laptops, you sometimes can’t help being cynical that manufacturers are finding new ways to increase their product price by selling add-ons that give you back that functionality.
