That was a serious miss on Dell's part. I'm not sure why they did that?
Makes it a little annoying for users.
- wmf 8y agoThree TB3 ports would have required an extra controller chip.
- organsnyder 8y agoSeems like it would have been better to omit the third port entirely, then—or, better yet, put a USB-A port there instead.
- colemickens 8y agoHaving a Yubikey permanently installed, I can say that on the 9370, I don't miss USB Type A ports, but I definitely wouldn't be using this as a daily laptop if it had one fewer (two total) USB Type C connectors. That would effectively mean I have zero ports free when charging and with my permanent Yubikey plugged in. It's never been an issue in practice, but I also wish that Dell would remove the ambiguity and make them all TB3 ports.
