Laptop makers, I’m begging you to add another USB-C port

Last week I spent a few days watching the Asus and Best Buy websites like a hawk, waiting for that slinky little Zenbook A14 to start shipping. It’s a really cool, lightweight laptop with battery life for days, literally. But it has one design problem that I see all too often on otherwise good laptops: The USB-C ports are only on one side.

This sucks. Allow me to use several hundred words to explain why.

There are a lot of great things about USB-C. Access to incredibly fast data transfers.
