Many connectors in one. Is the video output the left port or the right one? How about the charging port?

Just make all ports fully capable?

You want the laptop to have 8 GPUs just in case someone plugs a display into every port?

That's (1) a strawman and (2) what do you care what other people want to do with their computers?

I think very few people will buy the laptop with 8 GPUs because it will be expensive. It's not a strawman - it's what you asked for. Or what did you mean instead?

GGGP did not suggest to add 8 GPUs. That was your invention. They wrote 'Just make all ports fully capable?' which could be accomplished with a single GPU and the limitation that you can only plug a display into one port (or maybe two if your GPU is dual display capable).
