    I honestly would like if Apple made an e-ink reader because Amazon isn't great at hardware or software, at least when it comes to Kindle. If Apple made a 9" e-ink reader (kindles are too small) that looked like the page of a book "Apple Page" or "Apple Book" and had some innovative features such as page numbers (ffs) and the ability to squeeze either side of the page to turn the page I'd honestly buy one. 
    Yes - I bought a Kindle DX off a friend years ago and I still love it.  Thankfully it still works (albeit a bit slowly) even today!

    we’re talking about older Intel models and you wanna switch topics to M1s.
    Why would I be talking about older Intel models in a thread about the new Apple SOC models?  

    Your lack of clarity is somehow my issue?  And then you want to act above it all? lol - these forums never cease to amuse!

    Or stick a magnet on your Type-C.  Not as pretty but does the same job.
    No, it doesn't.  Not even close.  USB-C magnet adapters are no where near as compact or powerful. 
    If you think they are or better than magsafe, good news!  You can still use them instead of magsafe!

    Once again more choice is NOT less choice, no matter how much people like you seem to want to insist otherwise.

    No other laptops (except Alienware) can do eGPU+external SSD without any interference. 
    Apple SOC doesn't support eGPU and I would expect it's a low priority, if it's even a goal.  Another red herring.

    nor you’re adding much either, only two data and one special charging ports.
    As for this - that special charging port is more than just a charging port; it's a safeguard against damage.  One of the biggest things I missed on the M1 MBA was magsafe!

    And has already been discussed ad nauseam those other two data ports represent a HUGE increase in convenience and customer experience for those who need them.  I'm happy that you're in this magical bubble where you have no need for them.  You are far from the only user profile for these machines.
