Hi. The new MacBook got me thinking about PC ports. I'm curious what you guys plug in/out.
>Ports your PC has
>Ports you ACTUALLY use and what you use them for
I'll start (laptop):
>My PC ports
>Ethernet
>VGA
>HDMI OUT
>HDMI IN
>3 x USB 3.0
>SPDIF
>Microphone
>2 x 3.5 mm headphone port
>eSATA
>2x USB 2.0
>SD slot
>DVD-Drive
>A/C power port
I only use the USB port for my wireless mouse. 3.5 mm for music obviously. Occasionally use the HDMI OUT to plug in to my TV.
1. Not sure, too lazy to look, most that also you have.
2. I use the USB to transfer data from my phone to my PC. Thats it.
I`ve been thinking about getting a Macbook Pro when(if) my X220 dies.

I known its a bait but
You never use YouTube, google, Wikipedia, duckduckgo, or any other serious site? They both require https.
Try to block 443 on your firewall, and see how usable the Internet is.
Samefagging to mention I also use the ethernet port. No wifi for me.
Have:
2x USB 3.0
1x USB 2.0
1x HDMI out
1x3.5mm in
1x3.5mm out
1x VGA
1x Ethernet
Used: everything except VGA
why not 1194?
USB-A 2.0 and 3.0 (used)
FireWire 800 (used)
PS/2
RS232 serial
Ethernet(used)
Audio front panel(used)

Other ports are on expansion cards.
We got a new firewall at work and I was surprised how much was blocked or fucked up without 443.
