If there's one thing I hate about my work macbook it's actually the cable clutter.
The power adapter is an unwieldy overheating block with ugly yellowing spots on the rubber and weak 220v prongs.
For external monitors there's this ugly side-wart to extend ports.
Even then, there's not enough USB ports, so there's a fat USB hub on my office desk for keyboard & mouse, because butterfly keys suck smelly balls compared to Cherry MX Clears.
Meanwhile, my Linux workstation at home has zero visible power or display cables, because those are built into the monitor arms, which have USB slots in their feet. Nothing is overheating, there's plenty of passive and low-noise cooling, and both CPU, RAM and GPU are about x2 compared to the macbook, for half its price. -
karma108396yI tried to double check this, but selling plugs to play is a marketing strategy for apple so NOPE... Not legitness
