This might come in handy someday, especially the battery.
You know, if anyone wants to video chat regularly and sitting up hurts too much.
Anyway, I need some sleep. Wish me luck! I'm going to need it if the last weeks are any indication.

I don't know what's happening with this "modular" laptop with switchable ports https://www.pcmag.com/news/a-fully-modular-laptop-you-can-easily-upgrade-will-debut-this-summer
In general though the market is headed in the opposite direction. The other choice is to get a big "docking station" with 12 or 15 ports and USB 4 connectivity. Then you'll need still another device that's a USB optical drive.
From the manufacturer's perspective, it's tough, because some people only want USB-C; some want USB-A and C, some want HDMI (micro or full sized), some want displayport or DVI, some want ethernet, etc etc.

@ElwoodBlues that's interesting. It looks like the first ones are rolling out, but most types are pre-order only at this point and it's quite expensive.
