When your household uses exclusively devices that are powered by USB Type C, there is an impressive collective synergistic convenience that results. All of our tablets, phones, and laptops use Type C. Any of the power supplies for any of our devices can, in a pinch, be used to provide power to any other.
We can carry tiny trickle chargers when we're going to be by an outlet all the time, or a heavier rapid charger otherwise.
We can power any of our devices directly from any other device.
Further, we can use the same thumb drive on any device, no OTG adapter or usb size adapter needed. Several of our devices support slimport, so one set of high end cables can be used for video, data transfers, or power transfers.
For those that love convenience, USB Type C is great. And it gets even better the more devices you have switched over - when you can share cables, power supplies, monitors, and thumb drives between all of your devices so easily.
Apparently I'm one of the few that likes the idea of Apple's next notebook having exclusively Type C ports.
