I mean, I want 10 gbit+ peripherals and short of using PCIe extenders, what choice do I have? USB 3? Wait no, USB 3.1 gen 1, wait no USB 3.1 gen 2! (Yes, I know there's different Thunderbolt versions, too).

If Dell's going to do silly things like solder Wifi chips down on the new laptops, then you're damn right I'm going to be looking for Thunderbolt for fast connectivity out of a very expensive laptop.

…renamed to USB 3.2 gen 1, 2 and the upcoming 2x2 as of yesterday.

What we really need is USB 4.7 gen 1.2^3
