I have a new Google's Pixel LS with 2 USB Type-C ports (at this point the only one in the world to have 2 as far as I know) and it's amazing. I can plug the USB Type-C charger from either side of the laptop. When was the last time you were able to do that?

I'm surprised the macbook didn't go the USB Type-C on each side route. How much bulk could that really add? It makes it way more flexible. The Pixel update looks really good to me compared it these updates.

New pixel has 2 USB Type-C's as well as 2 USB Type-A's. Slapped on Ubuntu and now I have a full blown ultra portable development machine with probably the best laptop screen you can find at the moment and running Broadwell core i7.
