I already have a computer with USB-C - legacy connectors on peripherals force me to buy dongles.

That’s why I want my computer to have both.

It’s definitely not as good as it should’ve been, but as long as PC manufactures include as many standards as possible it should play well with whatever standard the peripherals are using.

Until it doesn’t.

Didn’t they have issues with previous MBPs where they’d charge slower on one side than on the other without apple acknowledging it?

But that aside Apple is pretty good ad supporting mostly everything. Other manufacturers are way worse in that regard.

But I already have peripheral devices with older connectors. This just forces me to buy dongles.

Also, USB-C can only “do it all” on paper. In practice you have multiple sockets on any given device that support different subsets of the standard. If you’re lucky, the capabilities are printed right on the device or in the manual. If you’re unlucky you’ll have to figure it out yourself.

I guess they could start saving money by not paying their CEO millions/year.
