You know... There are older people who want computers with the DVD drive so it's easier to get programs on the computer or watch a DVD or play a CD. We all don't want a THIN & LIGHT computer we want a USEFUL computer!!!

I see no reason for laptop manufacturers to be dropping Ethernet ports in chassis like this with USB A. If you can fit a USB A, you can fit an Ethernet.

It's a matter of value, USB ports have more value than ethernet ports. This laptop has 1 USB-C and 3 USB-A, if you put in an ethernet (which is actually larger about 20-30% than a USB-A) you would be down to 2 USB-A ports, if you use USB-C for charging. 1 port for mouse leaves you with only 1 usable port. If you use it as a desktop replacement, it would be 0 ports left.

The addition of USB-C effectively means manufacturers need to cover both A and C. Which leaves little room for other ports like ethernet.

This would have been the perfect use case of a 4800H/4900H without a dGPU.
