    Most peripherals still use USB-A though, so I’ve never seen the advantage of having a USB-C port on my laptop. I never use it. I guess I could connect my phone, but that seems rather pointless. (Most of the charging bricks I own still have USB-A too, and I have way too many to go buy another one. It was cheaper just to buy a new cable for me phone.)

          It’s nicer for laptops because you can have power, display, and internet in one cable going to a dock. TBH I don’t see many benefits for desktops. You could daisy chain monitors and have less cables I guess.

            Oh, I see now. Yes, I can see how that would be a nice benefit for using it on a laptop. I’m not even sure my monitors have USB-C inputs, but I’m probably behind the times
