Which Ports Do You Want On Your Dream Machine?

The new MacBook is out this week, and its most famous attribute — other than its model skinniness — is its single USB-C port for power and everything else. Yep, you can’t power your machine and use an external monitor or USB drive at the same time. So let’s build a crazy multi-port dream machine together.

Already, enterprising makers have put together super dongles like the HydraDock (pictured above) and the InfiniteUSB-C, both on Kickstarter. These are basically mega-hubs, packed with a variety of ports, that plug into your USB-C port so that your MacBook is actually usable.

Imagine you could have all the ports you wanted, with no dongles. Which would you want? Take our poll.
