  And durability.

    I have a not-that-old work laptop with a single usb-c charge port (for the dock) and the connection sucks. Thankfully that one also has a barrel port for power only.

    I hate that my new one is usb-c only. I’m moving between locations often enough that long-term durability is a concern having to plug/unplug that one all the time. I’d much rather it was an extra few mm thicker and have a charge port I’ll never have to worry about.

      Meanwhile the last failed barrel jack I had to fix was 10$ and a dozen or so screws to take the back off and remove the old failed jack

      The less footprint could be nice, but since I’m having to haul around a charging block thicker than the laptop anyway it’s a moot point
