RS-232 would be more useful though. I like this departure from Apple’s custom of having as few ports available as possible.
Just get an AST six pack plus with serial, parallel, game, memory, clock and... uh... one more thing!
Ah the days of connecting to the native cpu socket via ribbon cable.
How cool. I wonder if I’m the only one: I just placed an order for my first Windows laptop in 11 years. The Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 7. Apple’s overthin design, heavy aluminum, bad thermals, throttled chip, soldered parts scam is over for me. Love macOS but fact is Windows is nice now and I’m back to the fun days of weird and wild hardware. Feels great.
This looks like the same ports, plus a single usb-c and hdmi, that a Thinkpad X230 has.
It's pretty funny how this has basically the same ports (besides the USB C for charging) as my 2010 VAIO Z. VGA is the most surprising one to still see. I wonder what the reasoning behind that is. I can't really see them targeting the corporate market.

I see tiny has been redefined. Doesn’t anyone remember when there were 6” subnotebooks in the vaio catalog?

Most projectors ( the installed base ) only accept VGA. VGA is old it's analogic and works. The target demography for this laptop are the people who actually have to solve problems that people with laptops with one port create. So they have no tolerance for more problems. ( This is a caricature, but.. )
Really? I feel like I haven’t seen a projector with only VGA in years. Could be a biased sample though.
What are the practical and functional use cases that benefit from a clit mouse vs, say, a trackpad? Genuine question, I've seen them on older laptops but I always assumed they were purely vestigial from a time when trackpads were no good. Also, mandatory: in Russia, clit mouse is blue .
