    Why must we sacrifice utility for portability? Why is that capable travel devices are stuck with a single input for both charging and accessories? And why do these travel devices have to cost so much?

    Editor's choiceThe new Apple MacBook and the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S are exhibits A and B here. Both are Core m-powered, and both are impossibly thin and impeccably engineered. But both only have a single USB Type-C input for charging and data. Given that USB Type-C expansion accessories are still absurdly expensive (Apple charges $79 for its USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter), we’ve recommended the bulkier Surface Pro 4 and its multitude of ports in direct comparisons.

    And again, these aren’t cheap computers. The least expensive, the Galaxy TabPro S and a keyboardless Surface Pro 4, both cost $900.

    Let’s call the new Huawei MateBook exhibit C. It’s a near Galaxy TabPro S clone, complete with Windows 10, Core m processor, and single USB Type-C input. Huawei even aped Samsung’s keyboard folio, though unbundled it from the tablet as a separate accessory.
