    At some point some company needed to drop type-A usb to force everyone to start using Type-C. No matter what there was going to be a shitty transitional period. I'd rather get it over with and be on type-c. 
     
    The only real downside to the connectivity is a lack of an sd card slot.

    I was thinking about future proofing and it was cheaper than most H170 motherboards, so that was my thinking.

    nick5530 reacted to RedRound2 in 5 reasons why Apple didn't use Sapphire Displays in the iPhone 6   
    Time is reporting that, in contrast to the many rumors (and GTAT investor claims), Apple had never planned to use sapphire displays for the iPhone 6, and the company may not use it for future iPhones.
     
    The first is that the strength of sapphire has been largely misunderstood. Yes, it’s very resistant to scratches, but it’s actually more vulnerable than Gorilla Glass to being smashed when dropped – and even the invisible scratches a phone can get when carried in pockets can lead to failure.  
    Sapphire is also denser than glass, making it heavier, and bulkier – neither good things when your aim is to make a phone as thin and light as possible.
    Battery life, surprisingly, was also a key consideration. Sapphire transmits less light than glass, requiring more powerful backlighting to deliver the same display brightness. The all-in cost of using a sapphire display is also much higher than some had estimated. The material cost is around ten times that of Gorilla Glass, and it’s claimed associated costs could add as much as $100 to the cost of an iPhone. Finally, for a company which prides itself on its environmental credentials, Apple may have felt some discomfort over the amount of energy required to manufacture sapphire: more than 100 times that of the same quantity of glass Most of these arguments would also apply to the use of sapphire in the Apple Watch, but the much smaller surface area means that cost is less of a factor – and scratch-resistance is more important than protection against drops in a device that spends most of the day securely attached to your wrist.
     
    I was pretty excited for the Sapphire Display, but I guess these reasons are enough to justify why they didn't do it.
