T'is a really twisted world when the purchase of a Digital AV dongle ($79) another video dongle (for VGA at another $79) and a $29 Ethernet adapter are considered normal to make a computer reliable for a business user.

Style over substance as always with Apple.

Doesn't change that this is a gorgeous machine - but claiming a single USB port HAD to be there because of the space, is the usual Apple user trying to justify the lack of a very normal feature. Reminds me of all the iPhone users in 2007 claiming 3G really wasn't that important anyway, while the rest of us were all enjoying 3G.
