USB-C isn't a straight upgrade of USB-A though. Both have their pros and cons.

USB-C has much higher bandwidth and allows more power draw. 2 nice features, but totally useless on something like a mouse.

USB-A is soo much cheaper and more sturdy. A much better connector for simple peripherals like mouses and keyboards.

So a laptop with only USB-C is quite dumb. It costs nothing to add a couple of USB-A ports, and it will save you a lot of money.

And luckily there are plenty of options out there for people who want to attach peripherals to their laptops. I'm just not one of them.

My ideal device has two C ports on each side and a solid trackpad like the mac books do, just without all the apple bullshit of locking stuff down. @tuxedocomputers, pretty please 👀
