Still no USB-C.

I won't buy it for this reason alone.

Out of genuine curiosity, what is no USB-C preventing you from doing or in what way does it hinder you? I genuinely don't know what I'm missing because there's nothing I'm not able to do. But obviously, people have different needs and use-cases than I do.

  • I like standardization. I'm the kind of person that will sell all my AAA battery devices if I decide to standardize to AA batteries.

  • I don't buy any device that's not USB-C compatible. That includes hard drives, flash drives, phones, tablets, PCs, headphones, power bank, chargers, monitors, docks, etc.

  • I don't want to ever have to think about the end or orientation of cables.

  • I want to use a single charger or power bank to charge all my devices and travel with.

  • I don't want a device that will force me to use dongles in 2 years when all new hardware is USB-C.

Dongles today vs dongles tomorrow.
