For those who might not get it, every laptop that I’ve had has had two usb 3 ports on the right side, with other I/O like HDMI or headphone jack, and then one USB 2 port on the left side with less io, just the power jack.

The USB 2 is for a mouse or keyboard as extra bandwidth does nothing.

I can’t relate tho. My laptop only has two USB4 with type-C connectors. I really wish it tad at least one type-A connection. Luckily unlike my last laptop, at least this one has a headphone jack (I guess ASUS learned from their folly & never skipped the jack on future models).

My laptop (actually designed and used as mobile device with a 13 inch screen) has one USB-C port which is meant for charging or for attaching a docking station. And I am absolutely happy with it.

Yea with the amount of USB-A stuff still in circulation everyone dropping it early was so fuckin’ weak. That’ll shit’ll still be useful a decade from now.

I find myself not often using my open hardwane USB security token since it is inconvenient to use a dongle (same reason phones should never have dropped headphone jacks)

I ended up buying one that flips around and can do A and C connections

My laptop had 2 USB4 with type C connectors, a USB 3.2 type A connector and a USB 3.2 type C connector, but recently it's had an HDMI connector instead of the 3.2 type C.
