The Dell OptiPlex 5000 Micro puts its fastest USB-C port on the front panel

Dell’s OptiPlex 5000 Micro puts its fastest port — a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C (20 Gbps) — right on the front panel where you can actually use it. The front also has two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and a universal audio jack. Around back you get two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, one HDMI 2.0b port, and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port. There’s also an optional serial or parallel port for legacy peripherals. It’s a well-thought-out layout that balances speed and convenience.
