“Tech journalists who lined up at Apple’s special event to get their hands on Apple Watch walked away stunned by Apple’s all-new MacBook. It is widely being hailed – or harped on – as Apple’s new one-port wonder,” Mark Reschke writes for T-GAAP. “The fact it has only one physical data port is apparently quite jarring to many tech journalists.”
“Those stunned by Apple’s move may also drive a Honda Prelude, think sushi is all the rage, and are still trading Pokeymon cards,” Reschke writes. “The verdict is in: This is not a computer for those still living in the ’90s.”
“Ports are no longer physical things, they are mostly wireless technologies,” Reschke writes. “4G LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth, deploying Airdrop, Handoff, iCloud and Airplay are all ports and types of communications that flow within them. A port and it’s data is not about the physical, it’s about every type of connection technology available, and Apple’s new MacBook comes equipped with state-of-the-art ports aplomb.”
