It seems that nothing connects to USB 2.
They might have 3 to 17 USB C connectors,
but I have abolutely nothing that can use those.
I get it.
USB 4 is the latest and greatest and only uses C connectors.
Why no connectors for USB 2 at all?

USB-C signaling is compatible with USB 2, so there are cheap (US$10) adapters
that allow you to connect a USB 2 cable/device to a USB C port.

 

BTW it can be a pain discovering what kind of connections a laptop has.
Usually an ad will mention HDMI and how great the internals are,
but not what kind of USB connections or whether it will take an SD card.

Major vendors will have manuals available for download.   I also look for
a teardown video to see what is involved in replacing batteries, wifi,
memory, and SSD's.
