If you buy a ThinkPad, an IdeaPad, or a MacBook Pro, what port is on the right side?
3 comments

My MacBook Pro has one HDMI and one DisplayPort on the right side. The left side has two DisplayPort and a MagSafe.

Edit: And a MacBook Air would have just the two DisplayPort on the left with no HDMI, plus headphone jack on the right.

The MacBooks HDMI port is also just a usb device internally. Utilising DisplayPort alt mode.
I just checked my thinkpad fleet, excluding VGA: one has no extra video port, one has HDMI, and 4 have displayport only.
Thinkpads will usually have multiple DisplayPorts (some as alt-mode on USB-C), and 1 HDMI for use with roach-motel-quality conference room setups.
