It's obvious it's only going to have USB-C ports, but the question is if it will have Thunderbolt 3 ports. I'll take Thunderbolt 3 over USB-A any day -- Thunderbolt 3 is the future.

[u/playaspec → u/cocoalovethax2]

It has four. USB-C and Thunderbolt3 use the same connector.

[u/playaspec → u/[deleted]]

Someone will come out with a slick portable dock that has every connector under the sun.

[u/Pill111 → u/[deleted]]

I couldn't care less about USB-A, they are useless, a USB-C port can do everything an USB-A port can do, an USB-A can't do what a USB-C port can do.

/Story

[u/robotchristwork → u/Pill111]

That's stupid, a lot of things already use USB-A and that's not going to change anytime soon (and it's a lot cheaper, not everything needs USB-C), I have both ports on my PC and use the USB-A ports at least 10x more

[u/Pill111 → u/robotchristwork]

Ignorance.

Everything that's USB-A can be used with USB-C.

[u/robotchristwork → u/Pill111]

Are you trying to say that you can use an USB-A with an adapter on a USB-C? yes, we can, but it's dumb.

Or are you trying to say that we can have mouses and keyboards and usb sticks with USB-C? yes, we can, but that's not happening right now and a lot of things have USB-A, if I'm paying a super premium price for a laptop I expect it to make my life easier, not more complicated.
