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 honestly wish every company would just stop using USB A. So many companies still including it are preventing device manufacturers from going all in on C.

Going forward, this is the way. However, there is a massive amount of usba legacy hardware like mouse/keyboard dangles, headsets, hubs, chargers, and other less universally available products. Just think about how long PS2 and VGA ports existed on montherboards.
