    Having to carry dongles and hubs to connect to devices severely impacts the convenience of a laptop.

      I agree, but I really don’t do that. What I do remember 10 years back is carrying around a bunch of different cables for each of the ports I had, which is practically the same issue.

        I only carried cables if I was carrying the device that required the cable. If I needed to plug into something where I was going, whatever device I was using had a USB-A cable already.

        With .ost modern laptops, you have to carry a hub so you can use that cable.
