What is the value of all the ports being the same if you can’t mix and match cables?
- paulmd 4y agoeven if you could, what is the value-add of all the ports being usb-c to begin with? what is my printer going to do with a displayport and pcie channel? obviously it doesn't need to implement those, but, it worked just fine with a USB Type-A 10gbps connector, what is the value-add of pushing that to USB-C at all?
- crazygringo 4y agoEasy -- that my laptop or desktop just has 2-4 thin, high-quality USB-C ports that I can plug anything into. I can plug 2 devices in of the same type, without worrying about there being only 1 port of that type. I don't have to hunt for which port is where. I don't have to worry that this one model of laptop is missing that one type of port because there's only space for 7 on the side with the ports. I could keep going...
