The successor to the XPS 14 goes all-in on USB-C: it has three Thunderbolt 4 ports at 40 Gb/s and no USB-A at all, so older accessories need an adapter or hub. Two of the Thunderbolt 4 ports sit on the left and one on the right, each supporting DisplayPort and up to 100W USB-C charging. A microSD card slot and a 3.5mm combo jack are the only non-USB-C connections. For anyone with USB-A peripherals or a wired display, a Thunderbolt dock is effectively required.
