new work laptop a Latitude 5320 with 16GB RAM core i5, but no RJ45- Ethernet jack
at least I have my personal Vostro 3550 with onboard AMD for that,

New way of cutting costs - after all you can connect via wifi.

Or usb c to Ethernet

got those as well, problem is when the USB c gives out, your F****
at least they charge my phone quickly, so even if the Dock is messed up the Charger element still works a treat.

What actual need do you have for a hard-wired ethernet connection?

troubleshooting for one, some Routers need you to connect via a jack into them to be set up,
also points testing, yes you can use a USB 3 dongle, but that sucks.

so first its removable batteries, then its RJ45 ports, then its VGA ports,

VGA ports, HDMI, displayports all seem to be disappearing.

Can be fixed without a wired connection.

madness, honestly madness,
but hey if it works for Apple, and they generate insane profits from it,

lets all do it, so I'll stick with my Dinosaur laptop until then.

agreed, but then let me ask this,
what actual need do you have at home and at work for paper?
I mean everything is digital, everything can be displayed and read off a screen,

yet people still print things, and there is no such thing as a paperless office.

Not exactly the same kind of thing.

In fact though, I haven't even been setup on the office printer for more than two years, so there's that.
