The new MacBooks and MBP’s MDP Adaptor…

… sucks!

If you’ve seen many different reviews on Apple’s Online Store, you’ll notice how many people complain about the Mini Display Port’s adaptors to VGA and DVI. They don’t work, they’re not compatible, they’re too loose, and whatever it is, it’s on there. 

But what’s more important is that many people say that what once worked with their old Mac no longer works with their new MacBook or MacBook Pro. This is a rather annoying and stupid thing: why is Apple making these new laptops so bad? There’s no firewire 400, there’s a glass screen, and the screen also has weak hinges. 

Apple may have saved us all some space on the side of our notebook (which there isn’t any point to, since I’m not going to be drilling extra ports in) but they’ve taken away a lot of usability. What once came with the MacBook Pro for no additional costs now costs much more. If you want to hook your MBP with Dual Link DVI to a monitor, well that’s  too bad, now you have to pay 100 dollars instead of before when you paid nothing. But! You save some room on the side of your notebook! And if you want to use VGA, you’ll have to get a second adaptor, which once came free. And the new VGA adaptors seem to be having the most problems. 

At this rate, Apple will be shipping laptops without displays. And perhaps someday they’ll take out the USB ports too. What has happened to good old dependable Apple?

Everyone, let’s go buy out their refurbished and clearance models!
