Limited plug ins for monitors and printers, few USB spots, can't get the computer to use external speakers (the computer only uses little ones in the monitor that sound terrible) and CD drives have been eliminated. ALL this in favor of doing EVERYTHING on line. I buy a PERSONAL computer so I don't have to go on line. But it isn't all the computer. The software companies are doing the same and everyone is forcing everyone to use a smart phone whether you want one or not.
