Front USB-C is Gen 1, not Gen 2 The front USB-C port runs at 5 Gbps, not the faster 10 Gbps. It works for basic peripherals but is slow for large file transfers.

VGA is a legacy holdover Including VGA alongside HDMI and DP means Lenovo still expected users to connect old projectors or monitors. It is a transitional design.
