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

    I needed the extra space regardless so the price wasn’t a factor to be specific to this, slightly lower must refer to like 1-2 seconds because it takes a max of 3-4 to load any game and I have no idea what pop in is but I haven’t noticed any problems in performance.

      I mean you should have had several open slots to install an internal drive if you needed more space, but pop in is where as you’re moving through a world, things like trees or rocks or creatures etc don’t appear from as far away as they should. It get pretty noticeable on games like No Man’s Sky and Subnautica if the game isn’t installed on a fast hard drive that can quickly send its data. Even the fastest drive they make won’t totally eliminate the problem on NMS. Just lessens it.
