There are barely nay (if any) PC motherboards with USB C on it..

I'll give it 3 years till there's stuff with it

Hopefully by next year most producers will include at least one or two ports in motherboards and laptops, however I don't think it will be as common as usb 2.0 for another 4-5 years.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

A lot of companies follow Apple. Now that they are putting USB-C into their Macbooks, we will definitely see a burst in USB-C products. Next generation of phones will probably have USB Type-C as well

I hope they don't follow apple when it comes to the NUMBER of those ports  <_<

Take into consideration that USB3.0 is not the standard slot for the vast amount of peripherals even though it has been around for some time :) I would expect USB Type-C (if ever) to become widely spread in several years after larger companies see how it performs on the MacBook and what potential challenges, issues and applications it has. :) 2020 seems like a reasonable year for mass usage of this. Just my opinion.

There are alot of devices on the USB1.0+2.0+3.0 Standard.

 

I expect this to be a more of a Sata Express type port. Only a couple on the Mobo and not full on going to replace < USB 3.0

Oh god. I hope in the future I'd still be able to use my laptop with a mouse while charging it.
