![]() Sometimes that meant that when reaching for backspace, I’d overreach and hit one of these grey keys instead. ![]() What this means is that the keys on the edges of the keyboard are sometimes narrower and everything is squished towards the left side. You see, this keyboard pitches up a slight curveball to those of you with ingrained typing habits-there are four special keys assigned to HP services along the right side of the keyboard. Here, you’ll have to pick and choose ports based on their speed. Whenever Apple gives users more than two ports, it tends to give them a similar baseline of performance. The other thing I can’t understand is why the third port has such downgraded throughput. That omission is frustrating to say the least. If I’m going to gripe about the connectivity here it’s that even Apple has a headphone jack on its mainstream Mac laptops. With only 10Gbps transfer speeds, I’d say this is more useful for slow accessories or as a dedicated charging port. On the right side is a single plain-old USB-C 3 port with significantly lower bandwidth. These two ports are on the left side of the computer, with a small LED letting you know if the laptop is still taking in power from the charger. ![]() These are compatible with the Thunderbolt 3 standard, and will let you attach high speed storage (up to 40Gbps), docks, and fast chargers. The Dragonfly Pro at least gives you the opportunity to add ports thanks to its set of two USB 4 ports. If you do most of your work online, and rely on cloud storage, you won’t be too annoyed but for those of us who plug in a bunch of accessories and still use corded headphones may have a tougher time. Like Apple, HP has taken a minimalist approach to ports.
