Maybe Apple is waiting for 5G networks to come online, but I want to get online, anywhere, now.Įvery time I talk to professional image editors and other media creators about the MacBook Pro, I hear the same lament: "Can't Apple bring back the SD card reader?" For the uninitiated: high-end cameras use ejectable memory cards to store content, and many high-end laptops provide a slot for the SD memory cards, for users to quickly open files for editing.

How has Apple allowed the PC world to produce laptops with always-on connectivity, while it waits and waits? The company may be waiting for its eventual jump from Intel to ARM-architecture chips, but that hasn't stopped anyone else. Personally, this issue ticks me off, because I prefer to use Logitech's fantastic MX Master wireless mouse with its USB adapter - and not over Bluetooth - for its instant pairing. Sure, the reversible USB Type-C ports are the future of tech accessories, but what's wrong with a little respect for the past? I think I can speak for many when I say that when you're on the go - and why else would you buy a laptop, except for portability - you don't want to bring a multiport USB Type-C dock or hub with you.īut, if you need to use a flash drive or a memory card adapter (more on those below) - the current Type-C-only MacBook Pro has nothing for you, except a demand that you remember to bring a hub. The reason behind this may be because putting magnets at the MacBook Pro port could interfere with data transfer.
Oh, and Apple can put the detachable magnets on the plug side of the cable, to keep its Type-C ports untouched.
