   No, the most annoying problem with the MacBook is that Linux doesn't run as well on it as macOS does.
   
   But bread crumb resistance is good too, I guess.

     @coolboymew @awg On the positive side, as I'm on a 2013 MacBook and everybody else has probably moved on, maybe I can find a cheap maglev power adapter to replace the one that is finally giving up (cable shell broken where soft cable meets hard connector glove).

     @coolboymew @awg I do appreciate that it's not heavy or bulky in the backpack. But thinner than the 2013 MacBook is probably more show than function.

     @awg @coolboymew It's a contrived plan to give the end-user what sells.

     @ivesen @coolboymew @awg USB 3 has more than enough room for Gbps ethernet.

     @ivesen Ok, I have no own experience with etherdongles.
     
     Apparently there is a 20 Gbps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0#USB_3.2 now.

     @awg @coolboymew You're not applying enough razors. Just "people actually want it" is enough explanation, without having to apply any ulterior motives.
     
     Of course I will acknowledge that Apple cloud business benefits from lighter machines with less storage etc, but the thinnest machine I ever had in my life also comes with the most storage I ever had in a machine.
