Something is starting to happen in the laptop world, the mobile world that has been suffering for years. All of a sudden, keeping the laptop as thin as possible became a decisive buying factor, and for that parts deemed unnecessary by manufacturers are withdrawn. Or at least not as necessary as in the past.
It’s akin to the gradual disappearance of the headphone jack on mobile phones, wiping out many settings in favor of supporting wireless audio, Bluetooth audio. It’s similar to what happens with the Ethernet port on laptops. A port that no longer reaches most of the new generationsSo are the latest Xiaomi Notebook Pro 120G and Xiaomi Book Air 13.

If cell phones lose the headphone port because bluetooth audio is already common, laptops they lose ethernet port because of wifi. The wireless communication standard that now fills everything. And since it’s very rare that you don’t have WiFi in your home and the WiFi isn’t fast enough, say goodbye to the physical hotspot to connect to the internet via cable and nothing happened here.

Two models specially designed for players they protect the ethernet ports needing much lower connection delayssomething easier to achieve by connecting to the Internet via cable.
But the rule is that we say goodbye to the physical port for connecting an Ethernet cable for the rest of the computers. Producers begin to see it as an old port or a very low level of demand. we can always apply for an adapter this allows us to suddenly make an Ethernet port from the laptop’s USB.
