VAIO announces tiny laptop with tons of ports

I like how almost all the ports are on the right. You will not want to use a mouse with this machine if you're a righty, there will be at least one cable in the way.

This just need a tracking and it's 3 buttons to be my idea of a perfect machine.

RS-232 would be more useful though.

I like this departure from Apple’s custom of having as few ports available as possible.

Really? The photo clearly shows 1 USB on the left side of the machine. You can use that for your mouse.

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.

VGA?!

A clear example of “just because you can doesn’t mean you should.”
