Apple Laptops "USB-C only" - any owners here?

Does anyone here use a MacBook or a new MacBook Pro that's USB-c only? How well have you adjusted to the dongle life?

I got my MB pro set up this week and I'm having some second thoughts - coming from a 2011 Air. At my office I use a second monitor, Ethernet, USB printer, and Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse.

The only dongle that fit my needs - for under $100 or so - is this. I also bought these USB-C extension cables to keep everything tucked away.

The problem is my Logitech receiver doesn't work when I use the extension cable and even without it the mouse is jittery and keyboard laggy. Is the solution a new USB-C hub? I would just get a new keyboard but the Logitech K750 is perfect, except for requiring the stupid receiver

I have the new MacBook... It's alright, but if having multiple ports is important to you (it isn't for me, and because of it the computer collects a lot of dust...ETA to clarify: you read that right, multiple ports isn't a big deal to me, and the lack there of on the MacBook even gets to me) I would think long and hard about it

I don't know if I would call it a deal breaker, the pro seems OK, and having 2 usb-c ports on my laptop makes it a lot easier (I also have a Dell XPS 12 that is a lot like a surface, with 2 usb-c slots like the pro)

--------

In conclusion: it you want the "MacBook" don't get it, get a surface instead

If you want a pro... I don't know exactly what to tell you, as I do not own a pro, but having 2 usb-c ports does broaden your choices
