My 2022 macbook pro has a charging port, four USB-C ports (one of which can be used for charging as well), an HDMI port, a minijack port, and an SD card slot.
I use homebrew for package management, and have yet to be dissatisfied with that.
This machine also happens to have 32 GB of RAM.
I don't know about mouse-support, but I mostly use my keyboard for everything, and have yet to miss having more than two buttons and a scroll wheel on my mouse. With my previous (2012) macbook however, I used a five-button mouse sometimes.
Really don't know where you get your info on macs, but you it seems you missed the phone when you were called back sometime around 2010.
Brew is shit. I've had to use it, and wouldn't chose to ever again. 32gig of RAM? For professional work? What is this, 2009? 4 ports is good, and good to hear about the sd-card finally. And you're supporting the mac mouse? With the charging port on the bottom?
You may think it fine. But for the money I think Macs are vastly inferior to a decent thinkpad, dell, or even HP
If you need more than 32 GB of RAM, I'm pretty sure you're no longer looking for a laptop. I mean sure, you can get up to 128 GB on a macbook, but if you need that kind of volume you're doing professional work on something that is specifically extremely RAM-intensive.
I didn't support the apple-mouse, in fact I don't like it at all, primarily because I don't like the feel of it. Personally, I use a completely ordinary, cheap mouse with two buttons and a scroll wheel.
What are you smoking that 32gb of RAM is 09? 32gb is more than enough for most users in 2025, hell 16gb is still quite enough for most use cases.
Most mac users I've known either use the touchpad or MX Master, very few use the magic mouse. And build quality is much better than the equivalent plastic garbage from HP or Dell.
