    Show me one architect that is actually dragging along two external 4k displays with their laptop.

    If you are a professional with specific needs buy a specific laptop. Frankly there are more than enough laptops that have more ports if that’s what you need. Except even in your example you don’t even need more ports because you can just use the second USB4 port.

      You misunderstood. They use those monitors when actually working in a stationary place with their desktop setup. However, it’s very common to then have to go to your client’s office to show them said work or discuss future steps. At which point having multiple port options comes in handy if you have to plug in to a tv, monitor or projector.

      You can’t seriously consider asking for hdmi and displayport on a laptop a “specific need”.
