1 Desired an extremely lightweight and thin laptop
2. Found and bought such a laptop, even though it cost 600 bucks extra
3. Soon realized that many essential ports were missing
4. Threw another chunk of cash at a multi-port dongle the necessary, ugly tumor attached to my sleek new investment
5. Still unhappy, so spent another 250 bucks for a full blown docking station
6. The formerly 'thin' laptop is now permanently attached to a bulky peripheral hub and cluttered as the one I replaced! Perfect
