I agree. That seems like a wasted opportunity for the form factor change -- at least one full-sized hdmi port would have been a great idea.

My wishlist would be no HDMI at all. Proprietary and licensed, while we have as capable (if not more) options available.

What are the preferred options? The only I can think of is DisplayPort, which has a license (and associated fee) now.

Everything else is too big (DVI) or old and big (VGA)

Oh, I did not know that. I was under the impression the DP is open and free.
