Any reason why they'd still be using Thunderbolt and only put 1 usb-c instead of full usb-c like macbooks? With even apple dropping thunderbolt, isn't it a sign

Any reason why they'd still be using Thunderbolt and only put 1 usb-c instead of full usb-c like macbooks? With even apple dropping thunderbolt, isn't it a sign of death for those ports?

The vast vast majority of laptop users still have USB A peripherals. Apple was a decade too early (to their detriment) going full USB C. They're helping the USB C ecosystem, at the cost of dongle hell for their users.

"Apple dropping Thunderbolt"? Out of their 7 different Mac models, there's only 2 that don't have full 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 on every USB-C port -- and they're the two that have been the longest since an update (2017 MacBook, 2013 Mac Pro). What does "full USB-C" mean?

  oh my bad, I thought Thunderbolt meant the dongle type, as in, the shape of the plug. My macbook only has 4 USB-C plugs.
