Too thin for a lan port?

I've seen those before. I do have durability concerns, but other then that, it's nice.

I'd rather have a dongle. That looks flimsy AF.
-
@dizmo USB3 preferred.
The USB 2 dongles are limited to 100mbps.
-
@Skanky Sylveon Who says it has to be USB?
-
@dizmo That's what the majority of laptops use.
I'm sure that there are thunderbolt options, but unless you're going higher then 1gbps, it's not that nessacary.
-
@Skanky Sylveon If the company so desires they can just make a mini Ethernet to Ethernet dongle. Problem solved, no bottlenecks. That's what mine has.
-
@dizmo I don't think that I've seen those before. What do they look like?
-
I love that it exists but in practice, I don't think this is any better. Looks super fragile
-
@dizmo Is it a standard port?
-
@Skanky Sylveon No. It uses a dongle.

i would love to have this but at the same time one less port for an adapter method seems a bit fitting in terms of overall design, this just an opinion , but if you're already planning to hook up a thick Ethernet cable to it , but to compromise the whole design aspect of the lapt for it for the real-estate it takes. adapter is a good way.
