example: ethernet, power, 2 external screens, 2 usb drives, mouse > 7 things connected at once with a pretty standard setup

and yes i know docking stations are a thing but thats not the point

yes

still only 4 ports thou

but they didn’t give you an array of 7 usb-c either (power, network, external screen, external harddrive, usb-drive 1, usb-drive 2, headset)
