Why does it have a USB 2.0 port?
For a mouse/keyboard?
But everything made in the last 10 years, and 99% of everything since USB was invented works fine on USB 3. Shit the USB keyboards that do NKRO need USB 3.
USB Zigbee receivers for home automation don't work right when plugged into a USB3 port. It causes radio interference with the antenna.
I don't KNOW, that this is why they have one, but it's possible. These minicomputers are popular as home servers.
Will they work if some other device is plugged into a USB 3 port right next to it? USB 3 controllers to this day is kind inherently noisy and most cheap manufacturers STILL don't take precations to fix it. It's almost funny how over 10 years later they still can't make it work right.
The device has other USB 3 ports. It's more like using the USB 2.0 port for your mouse to not waste the other ports.
They would have had to put a hub down for more usb3 ports. A hub takes board space and adds cost. Intel removed a bunch of usb ports from the mobile soc lines.
