I’m a datacenter tech. The amount of dongles and outdated drivers required for simple serial connections or vga connections wastes tons of time. Licensing out the M1 would allow for a company to make a MacBook like laptop with every port! Perfect for technicians.

You can have all those ports on regular x86 laptops. We used to have that.

Nothing about port selection has anything to do with the M1 chip.
