Advantages of laptops with USB C charging - Universal standard - Connects on either side of chassis - Only one cable needed for docking stations - High power throughput - Slim height profile - Easier to source connectors for repair Advantages of laptops with Barrel Plug charging ports

The joke is that barrel charging is inconvenient and absurdly complicated despite the formal list of supposed advantages, making it a reaction to outdated hardware or overly stubborn engineering.
