> All of them imitate the MacBook Air: thin, shiny, glamorous, and they all critically lack ports.

This is the sentence before. IMO you’re being way too harsh. He is clearly trying to emphasize that the average consumers has lost their need for ports, thus, most lightweight computers aren’t sufficient for the author’s line of work. But OMG the author doesn’t know the proper context of Instagram! This whole article loses credibility! Listen to yourself.

Why do people who don't need multiple serial ports stop being real users?

What does it matter who real users are and aren't ? The author has requirements which are not met. Judging by the fact that it's a popular post, several others have similar requirements too. That someone may not have such requirements is quite obvious. Hence the current state of affairs and the post in the first place. The author's jokes may be a bit off, but this sub thread in this discussion that has devolved into whether or not instagram users are real users or if you need a laptop to use instagram is utterly useless. Like what does it add ?

I'm just kidding, man. Why can't anybody take a joke? Why be so uptight all the time?

Back in university, having a Centronics port made you more attractive to the girls, I heard.
