gollark: Barrel jack power input, Ethernet, VGA, HDMI, USB-A and -C, a headphone jack, an SD card reader I can't use under Linux, a fingerprint sensor with the same problem, and a "smart card" reader which I have no use for.
gollark: I have an older business-grade laptop, which is pretty great.
gollark: Most people basically just want to use Facebook, email, an office suite, that sort of thing, so their phone would work fine with laptop-grade IO and tweaked software.
