I just bought a new PC, based on Lenovo Legion gaming desktop. It comes with 2 USB port in the front, 4 regular USB port in the back + 1 USB-C port. That’s a total of 7 USB slots.

It’s been like 2 decades that every possible hardware device comes with an USB interface. Keyboard, mouse, joystick, hard-drive, memory stick, headset, webcam, spot/photo camera, and many others.

Of course it’s my fault, I should have thought about USB connectors when shopping for a new PC and check before buying. but seriously, 7 USB slots is so few compared to all the device I have using USB

    There’s plenty of legitimate reasons to need a ton of USB ports but it’s not on the PC manufacturer to appease the edge cases like OP.

    It’s like getting confused why your house doesn’t have a 20amp outlet to the dining room for your 48U server rack.

      Chipsets have tons of connectivity available, there’s more than enough physical space in the back panel and it’s not expensive to add. So yeah, your analogy doesn’t make much sense.
