Why two power ports on a budget laptop??
#11
If I remember correctly, for the USB Type C connector, they reversed the spring on the contacts to put it on the cable. Thus, making the cables more expensive, (beyond what they added already).

This was to make the failure of springs easy to to replace, (buy a new cable). Instead of having a port failure on an expensive device.
