Why do (desktop) PC have so few USB ports ? - eviltoast

I just bought a new PC, based on Lenovo Legion gaming desktop. It comes with 2 USB port in the front, 4 regular USB port in the back + 1 USB-C port. That’s a total of 7 USB slots.

It’s been like 2 decades that every possible hardware device comes with an USB interface. Keyboard, mouse, joystick, hard-drive, memory stick, headset, webcam, spot/photo camera, and many others.

Of course it’s my fault, I should have thought about USB connectors when shopping for a new PC and check before buying. but seriously, 7 USB slots is so few compared to all the device I have using USB

    There’s plenty of legitimate reasons to need a ton of USB ports but it’s not on the PC manufacturer to appease the edge cases like OP.

    It’s like getting confused why your house doesn’t have a 20amp outlet to the dining room for your 48U server rack.
