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.
