ahhh you're right I forgot about that
hmm guess buying the expansion ports might still be better for me when thinking about the long term use then
thanks!π€ +1
more or less a lot of the decisions of ports ultimately is because of durability. its why some people are wondering why the audio jack wasnt included and integrated into the FW16. the answer is that if it breaks, you can replace it easily. (despite how wasteful it sounds to use a port on audio)
one additional thing I realized is that since each port can basically be detached, maintaining/cleaning them will be easier which is great!
can't tell you how many customers I've had that had gunk build up in all their usb portsπ¬π€’
Sounds like a smokers house. I've repaired some gnarly desktops from people who based on the inside of their computer A) smoked like a chimney and B) don't change their air filters.
I might get such an expansion card even tho I have a Laptop 13 just because of my phone which fucking sucks lol
Getting one which would also perfectly fit into my laptop sounds better to me idk
