It’s very simple- Microsoft didn’t promise the world to everybody with the Surface Pro X like Apple has done with the MacBook Pro 13” M1. You may be wondering why I didn’t drag the Surface Pro X through this. I consider myself a professional and currently use four external displays at once in the office. Not everybody needs more than one display, but I would say many professionals do. I’m certain this will get fixed on M1X or M2, but it’s broken for now. This is one example where the iPhone and iPad inspired M1 chip is showing growing pains. Want more than one external display- Unrelated to the lack of USB ports, the MacBook Pro M1 is maxed out at one external display. Many enterprises I advise are paying for employee’s extra LTE bills to remove what they call the “bandwidth excuse.” During Covid-19, I know many people are using their LTE-infused notebooks, so they don’t have to compete with their kids or spouse for bandwidth.

Therefore, if you want to be always connected wirelessly via LTE or 5G, you’re out of luck. Want LTE or 5G- Like touch-screen, what’s good for iPhone, iPad and Watch apparently isn’t good for the MacBook Pro. Even the most hardened Apple fans hate it except for quick keys that, on most every other laptop, is a top row of real keys. The Windows ecosystem has found a way to add touchscreen and keep designs thin without bezels and it seems like Apple could figure that out, too. What I’ve never comprehended is why Apple supports touch displays on iPhones, Watch, and iPad, but not on the MacBook.
