No, but I never use CDs. I use USBs and SDs and extra monitors fairly often.

How am I expected to write apps for an iPhone if I have to choose between having my iPhone connected or having electricity?

Oh, I can just by an adapter? I'd rather buy a new computer.




OK then maybe that's not a computer for you and your kind of work. I think it's personal. As a nomadic front-end developer, I'm really happy with it. I would be equally or more happy with one port more, no doubt, but it doesn't feel like a problem to me.


Until they switch to single-port across all their devices this is a non-issue. You still have other options in the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro lines.


I write apps for iPhone. I have a dongle that gives me power, connects to my iPhone, and connects to an extra monitor.

I'd rather carry around a dongle that weighs less than an ounce than add 2 lbs of weight to my laptop to accomadate more ports


Does it really add 2 lbs of weight to add some USB ports?


No. The MacBook Air isn't even 1 pound heavier.
