It's the rear side of the computer - if you need USB-A, it's reasonable to have an adapter there IMO.
Got a tip for us?

I have the same machine. 2017 MBP. ;-)
Yeah, I need raytracing so Thats why I'm waiting for the studio to get it. Meanwhile I use partner's computer. ;-)

I hope we see an M4 MBP 16" with Thunderbolt 5 this fall. That'd trigger an upgrade for me (especially if they dump the SD and HDMI ports and add a fourth TB port.
No it’s not. Many years later Apple is still heavily dongle hell. I don’t want more.
It already had that!
Unfortunately, 5k OLED panels are not expected on the market until 2026! So 6k is likely a year further out, or even two.
I mean Apple said in 2023 that there is not going to be a larger iMac. Not sure what y’all are expecting anymore from Apple.No 32" iMacs?!
Even if Apple announce they have discontinued the iMac range, it would be something!
Then never mentions Mac Pro again so I’m assuming that’s not even a rumor, just an assumption.
The only assumption I’m making about the Mac Pro is that Apple wants to get rid of it.
I would like to see them actually do something with that giant case and heat dissipation capacity but they just don’t seem to want to.
They didn't say that. They said that there won't be 27" iMac. They didn't rule out bigger sizes
This, this, and this. Will definitely be buying the M3 MBA to replace my Intel 12" Macbook (which I haven't actually used in years but love too much to discard), but would LOSE MY JUNK over a 12" M3 Macbook. The 12" MB is almost volumetrically identical to its 11" MBA predecessor. The 13" M2 MBA honestly isn't *too* much bigger than the 12" MB but ... a new 12" MB would be sooo awesome.
I'd get a MBP but cannot use the screens. MBA looks to be the only safe version for my eye sensitivity.
If that’s true, then makes sense.
On the other hand, it’s weird having gpu ray tracing on the iPhone and not on the mac pro or mac studio, I don’t know why apple didn’t hold them for a couple of months and skip M2.
The M3 Ultra is gonna be insane. I have the M3 Max and the performance is outrageous, nearly as high as the M2 Ultra. Doubling that, even if not a real-world doubling of performance, is still going to be wild. Especially in a desktop form factor with a fat copper heat sink and fans. I have no need for an M3 Ultra, and honestly don't currently have a need for an M3 Max aside from the extra memory and future proofing since this is now my computer for the rest of this decade. Yet I'm still excited to see what they do with the new chip.
The Mac Studio with only the M2 Max can support up to four 6K 32-inch Pro Display XDRs according to this Apple Support article, while the Mac Studio with the M2 Ultra can support up to six 6K 32-inch Pro Display XDRs.
Are you saying you need more than that?
I only want to connect a single display. But one that has 5k, 6k or even higher resolution and supports high refresh rate >60Hz. This is not supported by Thunderbolt 4 and requires Thunderbolt 5.
I find that to be an interesting use-case scenario, but I am having trouble finding the max single-display capabilities of Thunderbolt 5 online.
Actually that works just fine and makes it much easier to access all of the portsSomeone needs to tell the photographer that the Mac Mini doesn't stand vertically like that.
Because the market is driven by laptop sales. An Apple desktop will never lead the development ahead of laptops.
You forgot with TB5, WiFi 7, upgradable RAM, and priced at $500. 😂
No 32" iMacs?!
Mac users waiting for a bigger iMac. Anytime now…
The Macintosh saw better days stewarded by Apple Computer, Inc. than Apple Inc. New chips are faster than old ones, a perennial phenomenon that changes nothing for most of their customers.
Apple has gone from serving their customers to their customers serving them with prices far higher than they used to be. Apple won’t even give MacBook customers right side I/O for less than $2000!
And those keyboards they sell these days, if you can even call them “keyboards,” are so shallow with little to no key travel!
Apple sells flash rather than substance these days, and for a far prettier penny.

Ah yes, the good ole butterfly switch keyboard, how we miss you 😂
