    but they didn’t give you an array of 7 usb-c either (power, network, external screen, external harddrive, usb-drive 1, usb-drive 2, headset)

      Did you use all 7 ports at the same time? Computers had so many different ones because the accessories all had their own ports. It was a mess back then. Now everything is USB-C and Macbook Pros have 4 of them. Plenty of ports.

          example: ethernet, power, 2 external screens, 2 usb drives, mouse > 7 things connected at once with a pretty standard setup

          and yes i know docking stations are a thing but thats not the point

            I have my Ethernet, mouse, second screen, keyboard all connected to monitor one. How do you love with a portable device that you have to plug in 7 things before you can start working…

                😂😌 I just love plugging in a single cable, and everything is connected including 65 watt power delivery charging 😇

                I guess after plugging in 7+ ports, you have cables coming from both sides of the laptop, making it very hard using it as 3th screen, I assume, at least on my desk it would be a big mess having all connected directly to the laptop.
