I dont know why this is controversial. I'm way more happy with 4x USB-C, than 5 unique ports, that will likely never be used on a regular basis, even when they were relevant

How about this:

  • 4x USB-C (can't see why I'd need 4 though, 3 is plenty)
  • 2x USB-A
  • HDMI
  • RJ-45
  • headphone jack
  • microsd

That should still fit just fine on the chassis if they didn't do the stupid curve thing, and it certainly wouldn't make it thicker.

  • I like USB-A
  • RJ45 is important to me
  • the only USB-C I use are my hub, work monitor, and power adapter

USB-A and RJ45 have far more value to me than a third USB-C. I've only ever used 2x USB-C at the same time, whereas my USB-C hub is crammed with non-USB-C ports.
