How about this:

  • 4x USB-C (can't see why I'd need 4 though, 3 is plenty)
  • 2x USB-A
  • HDMI
  • RJ-45
  • headphone jack
  • microsd

That should still fit just fine on the chassis if they didn't do the stupid curve thing, and it certainly wouldn't make it thicker.

I honestly wish every company would just stop using USB A. So many companies still including it are preventing device manufacturers from going all in on C.

RJ45 and HMDI in particular are way thicker than usb-c

Especially the HDMI and jack are just silly to drop.

I would prefer 10x USB C than that shit, lol

There is still a headphone jack, it's on the other side.

Yup, I have a 2019 Macbook Pro, so I'm well aware. But it doesn't have any of the other stuff I mentioned. The new Macbook Pros has most of it, but still no RJ-45.
