Laptops with USB-A 5Gbps ports

USB-A 5Gbps

— laptops featuring at least one classic full-sized USB port ("USB-A") with 5Gbps interface support.

Let us remind you, USB nowadays is the most popular computer port for external devices; it can be used for various peripherals (keyboards, mice, flash drives, and much more) as well as for charging external gadgets (for instance, smartphones). USB-A 5Gbps (formerly known as USB 3.0 and USB 3.2 gen1) is the most common standard today for such connections; this standard is gradually replacing the outdated, slower USB 2.0 and remains popular despite the emergence of the more advanced USB-A 10Gbps. A USB-A 5Gbps connection provides data transfer speeds of up to 4.8 Mbps; additionally, compared to its predecessor, the power supply to connected devices has been increased. At the same time, such ports are compatible with peripherals and other versions of USB-A — except that there might be issues with certain "power-hungry" devices, and an adapter is needed to connect a USB-C plug.

It is also worth noting that the number of USB-A 5Gbps ports can vary. For additional convenience, laptops with a larger number of these ports — 4 or more — are highlighted in a separate selection category.
