MacBook Air without connectors: good or bad?

New Eyry - this is a logical step in the development of portable laptops from Apple. The buzz surrounding the failure of various ports - has long passed stage, remember that Apple is giving up CD / DVD-drives. Most content is now stored in the clouds, I personally USB-stick does not take a very long time. Yes, the thickness for the sake of worthless thickness, but if Apple will be able to make the body more compact and lighter, thus together Retina-quality display, and save battery life, the new MacBook Air will be a real miracle of engineering thoughts.

To be honest, something I was not thrilled with the new airs. Design with reduced margins looks like something is not "in epplovski". With regard to the refusal of of USB-ports - I take this extremely negative. Still, USB - this is not the DVD-ROM drive, and it performs more functions. In addition, removing the DVD, Apple USB leave us now alternatives to the users simply will not be (wireless solutions do not count - it's completely different category). And in versatility when all tied to a single connector, too, nothing good. Perhaps by the time of release, something else will change, at least I hope it is.

The situation with the ports of reminds me of the story of the optical drive. I remember when Apple began to give them all the screaming, how kupertinovtsy dared to do such a thing. And as we now live with it?! But... it took several years - no one remembers the drives have long does not use them and do not feel somehow slighted. I think the same thing will happen with the ports. At some point we realize that so many we do not need. Almost all of the documents and data synchronized through cloud storage, and we can not surround himself with a huge number of wires. The only thing, I think, no connector for SD-card is not the best course for photographers who are constantly rewriting photo to his laptop. However, in extreme cases, they can purchase a card reader, as in due time and buy an external optical drive, if the need arises.

Negative reaction to the virtual absence of physical slots in the laptop I am extremely surprised: you train so long talked about another revolution from Apple - so here it is, what is not happy? :) For the ability to tear the Apple-designed templates, and gained fame consortium, revolutionary: just remember the story as howling the audience that in the first aimag was not COM- and LPT-ports - colored "Globe", this does not prevent a hit sales. Macs without optoprivodov also sold out without any hubbub.

I think, MacBook Air - the ideal candidate for a repetition of such an experiment. Now what is there not a wireless: speakers, printers, modems - even with hard drives card readers work on Wi-Faya and Bluetooth. So in most cases without physical connectors can realistically do. I think it's very cool, really revolutionary. I hate the wires, and if I was a question about buying a laptop, I have great interest would be waiting for release of the new Air. And the main thing here is not the total cost of the entire wireless peripherals that have to buy, and how much it vayfayno-blyutusnoe economy will operate without refueling. Capacity battery, which will provide at least the previous 9-12 hours of battery life - that is the main guarantee of the future success of MacBook Air. If he is destined to appear at all. Well, since not enough connectors - Apple releases and other notebook models. Why are the same Eire cycle?

Sucks. When I'm home, I always connected the USB-mouse and often a MIDI keyboard. Add to that some of chargers for iOS gadgets, get 3-4 USB device. Cloud - it's cool, but a bunch of musical instrument connected via USB and does not appeal to me the idea that I have to buy a new device with a connector that fits Apple. I want to say: "Leave the fucking connectors alone" - but I understand that Apple - a company that launches a revolution, and the absence of the USB - it just is.

Of all the rumors about the new MacBook Air, more or less plausible it seems only one which refers to the change of the diagonal of the display and the new USB standard. Enough questionable decision to get rid of and even Thunderbolt MagSafe. These are the small "chips" that distinguish Apple from other hardware manufacturers. On the other hand, leave one port for all - an interesting decision. And if in your iPhone (in OS X Yosemite for it all already designed) can act as a modem, it's charging via the same USB ...

The news about the absence of ports first shocked that so far is not very wants to pass. A lot goes into cloud storage, but most users still carry information on various USB flash drives and external hard drives. And if someone accesses the Internet through the USB-modem, then faced with the choice between charging, internet and flash-card at a time. I think that if the Apple added another port on the other hand, it would not have played a role in increasing the thickness of the new device, and users would be much quieter.

I do not have a single application of USB-ports, in addition to charging the phone and Aypada. No flash drives and other computer stuff I do not shove. Printer - Wi-Fi, data - via the cloud services, backup - Wi-Fi (n standard). So give up the USB is not difficult for me. There is one "but": all of this idyll collapses as soon as you find yourself in an uncomfortable place for themselves - not a house or office. Immediately need a flash card, USB-printers and other devices. But, as we can recall the numerous presentations that Google managers that Apple managers have no clue about the places other than the Home and Work. So, I think that their USB reality is long dead.
