I just bought a new PC, based on Lenovo Legion gaming desktop. It comes with 2 USB port in the front, 4 regular USB port in the back + 1 USB-C port. That’s a total of 7 USB slots.
It’s been like 2 decades that every possible hardware device comes with an USB interface. Keyboard, mouse, joystick, hard-drive, memory stick, headset, webcam, spot/photo camera, and many others.
Of course it’s my fault, I should have thought about USB connectors when shopping for a new PC and check before buying. but seriously, 7 USB slots is so few compared to all the device I have using USB
Yeah, the pattern with a lot of prebuilt PC makers is they’ll build the PC to be marketable with a few buzzwords that get the most attention and then go as cheap as possible for everything else.
Though even those big main ones can be gamed, like only reporting the CPU is an i7 or r7 when that covers new CPUs as well as ones from a decade ago. Or only giving RAM size because most people don’t even think about the speed (and maybe aren’t even aware that it’s possible for a machine with 16GB of RAM to run circles around one with 128GB of RAM).
Some companies even use proprietary connections to make upgrading more expensive (in that you need a new motherboard to go along with your new PSU).
