Why aren’t motherboards mostly USB-C by now?::I’m beginning to think that the Windows PC that I built in 2015 is ready for retirement (though if Joe Biden can be president at 78, maybe this PC can last until 2029?). In looking at new des…

    Would make much sense. You still want USB-A ports for most peripherals as using an usb-c port to connect a single mouse would be pretty much wasting a port.

    However adding a Thunderbolt4 port or two along side the usual USB-A ports would be nice.

      Ofcourse you’d still want some type a ports, but I have 6 type a ports and a single type c on my rear io but i would definitely give up 1 or 2 a ports for 2 more type c.

        Why not half and half? Then I can afford to both keep my current accessories, and to buy USB-C when I need to replace them

          I’d only need 2 extra since I got dual a and dual c on my case front io aswell.

          And since most devices i plug in are still type i can’t sacrifice too many.
