Why would you want more usb if they aren't all usb3 anyway? Make them all 3s
Make them all 4's if we're casting wishes.
Also where's the 10G ethernet!?
16x USB 4, 1x 10 GbE, 4x SFP-DD, 2x HDMI, 2x DP, 2x GPMI. Oh, and a couple XLRs for audio connectivity. It's really not much we're asking for here.
XLR's... lol golden.
They're settling on 10 x 1g ethernet ports instead
You need a much better chipset to support 3.0 speeds on all of them at the same time. If you want to share speeds a well made usb hub will do.
In reality most people go for the cheaper option and focus more on RAM pcie and CPU features.
Don't need USB3 for mouse, keyboard, printer, external dac, etc.
I have an old printer that only works up to USB 1.2 for some reason.
I can flash my Poco F1 in bootloader mode only through an ancient USB hub. The fastbootd in recovery works also without, so it must be a firmware bug.
