My 2003 12" PowerBook had 2 x USB-A ports, 1 x FireWire 400 port, and 1 x mini-DVI port.

My 2008 13" MacBook Aluminum Unibody had 2 x USB-A ports, and 1 x mini-DisplayPort.

My 2014 15" MacBook Pro has 2 x USB-A, 2 x mini-DisplayPort-style Thunderbolt ports, and 1 x HDMI.

If you want a massive amount of built-in ports, then a MBP has never been your go-to device ...
