That's not really a fair comparison. USB has been around a long time and provides a lot of functionality.

I love USB-C on my phone and think it's a great upgrade, but I'm not interested in contributing to more e-waste to upgrade a laptop that doesn't need it, just so I can buy more ultimately e-waste adapters with USB-C.

For me, the best thing about USB-C on a laptop is universal charging. That's been a game changer.
