An ethernet port is essential for any computer.

It’s really not. I have one on my work laptop and have never plugged an Ethernet jack into it. That stays permanently in my dock and gets transferred to the laptop via USB-C. All other non-desk work is done via … WiFi. Shock! Literally can’t tell the difference when making money.

Only issue I have is max 65W PD, which should be fine for most laptops, but some laptops can charge at 100W.
