    Nope sorry, I just had a case this weekend where a RJ45 would have saved me a day. There are classic USB-3 on my partner’s laptop but strangely, those refused to power up two different 1TiB mechanical drive.

    Latest thinkpad t14 gen3 sports a full size rj45. thus, it is not impossible to have thin laptop and the right connectivity.

      There are times I still wish for an optical drive. But time keeps moving on…

            I don’t have any dongle and my partner’s computer is the same thickness than mine but I do have a full rj45 port. IP over thunderbird is still unreliable on non-mac. And I wouldn’t transfer 420Gb of data to a Macbook that I would have to retransfer to my NAS.

            Good for you if you live in the future.
