You do realize that ports are holes right? They make your laptop lighter.

The amount of metal removed from the case is heavier than the connector and PCB traces.

Don't carry around the cables if you don't want to, but your argument is ridiculous.

They do have stuff inside them though, so I'm not suggesting they make it heavier but having the required electronics does take up space that can be otherwise utilised.
