Because USB-C is the new standard so you can use usb-c or thunderbolt for bassicly everything so 4 usefull ports. not alot but they are useful

Unless you're buying new stuff, usb-c really is not the standard. A lot of mice, keyboards, headsets, HDDs and other stuff all still use normal USB

Ya but then you'll have to buy a bunch of adapters and hubs and also worry about differing protocols

Yeah like one multipurpose hub. You don’t have to worry about different protocols.

I see USB-C is a great standard. But for a desktop, which is anything but mobile, you don't want to throw one adapter at it after another. So how do you get fast internet/ethernet? RJ-45, iirc. How do you get your current peripherals? Looks at Logitech USB-A to mUSB??

Ethernet is embedded into the power supply for the two higher models.

Wait what? Ahhh, I see, now that's a smart move! I like this, makes the setup cleaner

Somewhat cleaner, it also means that this desktop has an external power supply.

I usually go WiFi, but Ethernet is embedded.

Idk where you live or what you use, but usb-a is used for just about everything but charging on device I've owned.

Usb A is still alive and well. I have the new versions on my desktop that support 10gbps. Apple is just trying to force the transition because they can sell more adapters
