Plugging in before starting large file copies probably doesn't quite get you to "very inconvenient".

I don't really get the vision behind 1 port, but I don't get the angst either (not buying things is pretty easy).

Needing to restart a process that takes an hour, just to plug in my device... Yes, I consider that very inconvenient.

Why would you ever start the copy without plugging in first? One answer is that a plug isn't handy, but it starts to become a rare scenario when you want to copy a huge file, don't have ample battery and plugging in first isn't convenient.

(I continue to suggest not buying computers with 1 port as a great solution to the problem)

Is checking your battery status before you start doing something, a usual occurrence in your usage? It isn't for me, and I'm sure it's something I would adapt to do, but in the mean time, it's an inconvenience.

For instance, I often work outside and keep my charger at my desk inside. Sometimes I'll start something, check in on it in 10-15 minutes, see its going to take a while to complete, then go plug the machine in, inside, if it's going to take a while.

Sure, it's not something that can't be overcome (I'm not suggesting it is), but the need to check my battery (and to remember to check my battery) before doing something is an unnecessary inconvenience.

It's almost like I'm saying how wonderful the magsafe connector is for when I trip over the cable, and your response is "well, you don't need that—just don't trip over the cable". Sure, I don't need it, but it's just better with it.

Look at my first comment. I objected to you calling something that is less convenient than you would like "very inconvenient". We don't have to agree about the "very", it probably isn't worth any more attention from either of us.
