Nope.
Connector count in general and USB in particular have unfortunately been declining for the last 10-15 years, current HP laptop being the lowpoint with only two USB type A on the right and a single USB-C on the left...
And we are talking development machines here, I work with embedded systems and have to connect stuff, which is often still legacy stuff.
Understandably I am constantly pissed about the development.
So went wireless as far as possible: Bluetooth headset and keyboard, only the mouse still needs a USB dongle (at least the connection itself being wireless makes the side it connects to doesn't matter...)
