1 year agoTo be fair, all these ports put together can’t match a single USB-4 in bandwidth. And I get they are pretty useful to avoid dongles, but I bet your ThinkPad (with that many ports I’m guessing a W or T, maybe 30 series?) weights more than a framework and a competent USB-C hub.
(But I love the ergonomics of old ThinkPads, that’s why my x201 gets almost as much use as my T480)
You forgot the “they accept you as the creator, and you let the trolley hit anyway”
