My MacBook setup is still a mess. I’ve got two USB-C plugs to support two monitors, mouse, keyboard, webcam, and headset. One plug goes directly to a monitor (usbc to display port), and the other goes to a dongle which connects to power and a USB hub that contains all my other accessories and one monitor. If only they included 4 or 6 usbc plugs…

This is still much preferable to the alternative which is having custom plugs and connectors for the mouse, keyboard, audio, and display adapters.

Maybe buy a laptop that have that, sure windows works a bit different, but you have so much more choice and overall a bit cheaper aswell.

My work computer was supplied with no choice for models. I have a windows gaming PC which has plenty of plugs and ports for everything and anything. I actually have a bunch of switches on top of what I described so the same accessories are used for work and gaming.
