Laptops with an ethernet port filter would be great. They are going to be extinct.

Business orientated laptops are the last bastion. ThinkPad/Lenovo, Vostro, etc.
Some budget laptops -- like the Acer E5 series currently at #2 -- seem to still have Ethernet ports, presumably because they are relatively thick.
You can get a USB 10/100/1000 adapter for $13 with prime shipping. Why bother?
It's not about the money but about not having to carry around a fricking adapter for basic connectivity.
Where do you go that uses ethernet ports anyway? If it is at your job, just leave the adapter there, same with at home.

Any other place will use WiFi anyway.
