I'm down to one, too. And for what it's worth, I've used it about 5 times since I got my M1 in December: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B085ZQZXFX

If "using it on your lap, without something hanging" matters to you (like the parent) and you wanted something more 'rigid', things like this exist: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/product/B07PCP5J4Z

Yeah I'm in complete agreement. A single "dock" dongle with all the ports you could possibly want are cheap, light, and have smooth designs that won't snag on anything.

I have one buried in my bag that I almost never use. It's surprisingly rare that I need an Ethernet or HDMI port but they're there if I need them. In the meantime, there's more room inside my laptop for battery.

Even an extra 5Wh of capacity is about an extra hour of use.
