"So the new MacBook basically got rid of the HDMI dongle by integrating it inside the laptop"

Damn, that sounds like something a no-name 'made in China' brand would do, what is the possible justifucation for this on a premium device?




AIUI, Sony did the same with the PS4:

> If you query the GPU information, you actually get that it has an HDMI port and a DisplayPort port. [...] If you ask the GPU, it tells you that HDMI is not connected, DisplayPort is connected. OK. Yeah, they have an external HDMI encoder from DisplayPort to HDMI because just putting a wire from point A to B is too difficult
