    As long as a computer has 4 usb-c ports, I think you’re covered for everything.

    Yes we had more different ports back in the days, but most were never used.

    Usb-c is way more practical. Still that implies that you have more than 2 Usb-c ports.

      At work both my monitors and networking go through the same port. The monitor also acts as a usb hub.

      You can buy an adapter and plug everything in one port.

      I love it personally.

        You can only do that because your monitors are not high resolution and high refresh rate. The data cap for usb-c is not that high.

          USB-C is just a connector, but Thunderbolt 5 uses it and for asymmetric uses (e.g. a monitor) it can hit 120Gbps.

          Isn’t that going to support most monitors?
