why can't they make laptop like this anymore?

I haven't bought a non-gaming laptop in my life. Do non-gaming laptops not come with ports anymore or something?

>>106147392
not really

>>106147382 (OP)
they do, you just won't buy them

>>106147382 (OP)
Because desktops exist

>>106147382 (OP)

They do, you just don't care

>ree why do all the laptops specifically marketed as being thin not have numerous bulky ports!!
Cringe. My Dell work laptop has hdmi, ethernet, two usb-c, two usb-a and a 3.5mm jack. Is that considered enough for you? Or do you also need PS/2 and VGA/DVI? Retard.

there are still laptops with a lot of ports. its just most consumers like the thin minimalist laptops. usually only power users who are techies go for the fully featured laptops.

I stll have this absolute legend in my cupboard. What is the 2025 equivalent of the x220?

>>106147576
who the hell uses that many usb-c ports? I would prefer more normal sizes usb ports

>>106147745
>two usb-a
my T440p has 4

>>106147382 (OP)
>2025
>no vga or at least dvi
yea dog that’s a nope from me

>>106147382 (OP)
>ports on the back
shit design

>>106147382 (OP)
>8 ports
>2 USB
lmoa this is unironically worse than a modern macbook

>>106147816
Nobody but sysadmins buy 10 pound monstrosities with every port known to man. The vast majority of prosumers buy a mac (and then bitch they need a hub)

why can't you make a laptop like this?

I have a gen 9 X1 Carbon, 2 USB-A, 2 USB-C, 1 HDMI and a combo jack. Why would I need anything else if I'm not connected to a docking station? In the rare instance I need ethernet and don't have access to a dock a USB-C to ethernet adapter takes up next to 0 space in my bag,

sounds like me. i like large laptops with lots of ports. i like bulkier laptops, but i dont care about weight. i really only use the laptops i buy as stationary machines in place of a desktop, except for laptops that i really need to be small for its use case.

>>106147382 (OP)
Because they're heavy and obsolete.

What the fuck is a prosumer? A pretentious consoomer?

>>106148074
Yes, Goy. Buy the docking station and dongles.

I actually work in industrial automation instead of sipping onions lattes while pretending to code and the bare minimum is hdmi / Ethernet (two would be nice) / 2 or 3 USB ports

Sadly the laptops provided at my work (thinkpad P16) removed the Ethernet port which is a massive pain in the ass

I don't think you have a job at all, anon.

>>106147434
Thinkpads fear the toughbook

>>106149146
And what could possibly make you think that?

Blame this cunt

>>106147576
>power button inexplicably placed on the side of a laptop, clustered between 2 ports
fucking unusable

>every pc company copies Apple
>this is somehow Job's fault
Dell went all out with copying Apple that they're now irrelevant. Lenovo still does their own thing and they're the most dominant pc company in the world.

Some companies want you to buy their dock station or their usb hub, and/or just save money at the factory by giving you less and pay more.

The normie user does not notice that, they just

>less usb
>mmmm a Bluetooth combo mouse and keyboard and it fixed!! i'm a genius!!

in the normal use case i think i personally need

4 usb a
2 usb c
1 ethernet 2.5 gbps
1 sd card
1 hdmi

my faggy gayming laptop has
3xUSB A
1xHDMI
1xUSB-C with DP out
1xSDcard slot
I would prefer more but I can live with it

let me guess, you need more?

>>106147576
>hdmi on the side
fucking ruined

>>106147382 (OP)
because they put designers in charge over people that actually use the products, next question

>>106149465
>power button
That's a SIM card slot.

>NOOO WHY ARE THEY NOT MAKING 40KG BRICKS WITH HOT-SWAPPABLE BATTERIES THAT CAN BARELY RUN MY SHIT I JUST NEED 15 PORTS (I will realistically use like two at most 99% of the time) AND WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER LEAVE MY HOUSE SO THE CLUNKINESS WON'T BE AN ISSUE (works on my machine, owned the maclibs btw) AND I'M OK WITH USING OBSOLETE 15 YEAR OLD HARDWARE (with a trace of estradiol on the keyboard from the previous owner) SINCE ALL I WILL BE DOING IS WATCHING ANIME AND SHIPOSTING ON THE 'CHAN
or something

>>106147382 (OP)
Because no one would buy it

jews made them illegal

>>106147382 (OP)
Because zoomers like them thin and light. Japan was the last place where they kept making something similar, but they're probably on their last leg there, too. How ancient is that laptop anyway? I actually had to look for that "Powered USB" thing, I'm not that old myself...

>he unironically needs more than 2 USB type-A ports in TYOOL2025
get with the fucking times you goddamn third-worlder, USB-C has been out for nearly 10 years now.
