Reply to comment by TheIllustrativeMan in Dell’s Latitude 7330 convinced me that business laptops are too expensive by dapperlemon

Thinkpads are also great because they don't suffer from the "thin at all costs" problem mentioned in the article. For a work laptop, I want lots of different ports, including a full-on Ethernet port without a dongle. Sometimes you need that wired connection when traveling. And HDMI (without dongle) is also a must. Macs have ditched a lot of these ports, but Thinkpad still has them.

Ironically, one of my Thinkpads is a "thin at all costs" one - the X1 Carbon. Still has a solid selection of ports though.

Yeah, my G4 Yoga has 2 USB-C, 2 USB-A, HDMI, and headphone jack. There does exist a "thin at all costs" Thinkpad, but that's the Nano, which does only have 2 USB-C and a headphone jack, but it's way smaller than everything else decent on the market and will still have a better keyboard.
