That's my problem with USB-C. All the dongles needed to make a USB-C only laptop compatible with all the external devices you used to hook up to via various built-in ports. I don't see the advantage.
Don't buy a USB-C only laptop? Are there any USB-C only laptops?

Or get one of these:

Or one of the adapters mentioned earlier?
