    I think it’s an alright compromise. I rarely move my expansion cards around. I use four USB-C cards and sometimes swap one out for a storage card that has Windows installed on it.

      I also don’t move them often, it’s interesting they weren’t able to get all 4 the same though. I haven’t read anything that actually explains it. I guess the CPU can only handle that configuration.

        The Ryzen 7840U and 7640U, by specification, support 2 USB 4 ports and 2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports. So it seems that’s just a limitation by the architecture.

          Thanks. I’ve read a few articles about these AMD frameworks but have never seen the reason for the limitation mentioned.
