The first thing I did when I saw the laptop would need a collection of dangles and goodads was to look to the Reconditioned part of the website, and I selected the last of the useful Portable computers, saved some money, and got a new unit, not a reconditioned one. Now if I trip over the power cable I don't wreck the MacBookPro. And the latest, as this is written in January, is that various devices to add connectivity are being marketed, so that the concept of portability has gone by the wayside. Apple's management is out of touch with the average user. They have lost the plot.
