Are there any laptops that have at least 1080p, a big hard drive, and at least 4 USB TYPE a ports (this seems to be the hard part to find). Every laptop I have seen has at most two USB TYPE a ports.

Have you considered using a USB hub to add the additional USB ports?

    Retired in 2015 after working in the tech industry for 41 years. First 10 years as a Technician, the rest as a programmer/software engineer. After 1 year of retirement, I was bored so went back to work as a Robotic Process Automation Consultant. Retired for 3rd (and final) time in 2019.

You're right, it's very unlikely you'll find a laptop with that many USB ports, especially USB 3.1 or 3.2 Type-A. It's usually limited to 3 ports, and 1 of those is usually the older USB 2.0

I have exactly that layout on my laptop, so I got more Type-A ports by adding a small hub. The clever design clamps onto any convenient surface you may have. It has a rubber strip so it's safe to clip it to your monitor, for example. I clipped it to the end edge of my desk which places it within easy reach, and attached cables dangle out of sight. We got the silver finish version but there's also a black finish version. Check it out:

Am I the only one here that prefers PC (Desktop) over Laptop? I was never big fan of using Laptops till this day.
