This is both hilarious and so perfect, because they're still external adaptors, they're frickin' USB-C dongles! They just fit them within the bounding box of the laptop.

Such a simple, effective solution (if you're willing to sacrifice some volume)

Erm, yeah, external means outside of something. This is a perfectly valid thing to say. Are PCIe cards "external" because you can plug them in? Obviously not.

It looks like the Ethernet one actually sticks out of the case so that's even more external - I think I would actually prefer a standard USB-C adapter in this case.
