Ah I must have missed that in all the hysteria over the TouchBar and USB-C. That is valid criticism especially for the 13" model that would benefit from a faster integrated GPU.
> Why should I use SSD instead of RAM?
The benefit of faster disk IO you can shuffle things in and out of memory faster. In the case of a photographer dealing with lots of relatively small files faster disk IO can be more important than raw memory capacity. In other scenarios raw memory capacity is more important. In every scenario raw memory capacity and faster disk IO is great but there are tradeoffs to that also mainly weight, battery life and cost.
> Why in general you should look for a trade-off when other laptops manufacturers do ship a decent laptops.
There are many factors to consider and different people have different priorities.
> Yeh, a hub ... which you will have to take with you every time.
Along with all the accessories you're already lugging around to plug into it? Never really understood this argument.
