  I mean, it’s pretty easy to imagine needing 10 USB ports. I think I’m using around that many myself on my desktop. Then just add a couple more for things that may be things needed temporarily.

    I can hardly imagine needing 15 ports at the same time.

      Doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in your imagination.

        Well I am currently using about 5-6 ports on my PC and 2 of those are not really needed. I can imagine using a couple more but certainly not 15

      meanwhile I’m overhere with…

      keyboard, mouse, camera, 4x flash drive, game controller, ebook reader, external storage disk, printer, VR headset, multimedia card reader, LED controller, my monitor (USBc display + hub + KVM) and my phone…

      ofcourse not all at the same time. but I have a mess of USB extensions and hubs as I don’t have enough root Ports lol

      (Linux not hacintosh) I apparently couldn’t run it if I wanted to.

        Yeah that was my main thing. It can be done but most people don’t need all of those plugged in constantly

    My kids gaming pc tower has a set of usb ports on the back and a set on the front. It’s great to have options, but he’s not going to use them all. Ie he has ten usb ports for the five he uses

      Fair enough, but not everyone is your kid. Needing to have things plugged in at once shouldn’t need defending. I would prefer to leave things plugged in if I can. USB supports that, so why wouldn’t I?

        I mean the point is there’s a convenience factor where you might have twice as many ports as you’re willing to use

        It’s not just that you might have more devices or want to leave them plugged in, but you may find some of them undesirable to use
