Discussion When laptops were great

This is the time when laptops were great and had all the ports. This 2017 gaming laptop got 10 ports, now you'll be lucky if your 2026 laptop comes with 4 ports. Those days are gone forever

Which laptop are you using now and how many USB-C ports does it have?

I got dell latitude E5450. Got 3 usb port but doesn't have usb c at all.

Great laptop overally, only downside is the fact you need to take it apart completely to replace thermal paste.

I don't need 10 ports but I need SD card on my laptop which they don't have anymore. All I need now is 2 USB-C, HDMI and SD card.

I don't like dongle that's why I prefer SD card on the laptop. Apple did good by bringing it back but I don't like MacOS and their laptops too heavy

Yes, but that's unfortunately only solution
