I reckon you meen Micro USB?
as "mini-usb" is that little fat fuck there is on some of my DMMs for pc support.
And yes it is con that is it micro-USB here on the edge for the long kiss goodnight to MicroUSB,, though I reckon it would be pretty straightforward to solder a based 4 to 5pin TypeC on yourself and exchange the MicroUSB. (the TypeC versions is also just USB2 std as fare I know.)
but of course better to not should mess with it to start with, so I would also prefer TypeC.
Thermal Expert is also landing new TypeC these months in their lineup and also for sale atm but not for this lower sale-price.
I don't got any of these Thermapp, Thermal Expert og Xtherm, though been in contact with some of the Chinese and Korean vendors' but is the quality-gap that big from fx Thermal expert low key Q1 to Xtherm 284-388 version both same sensor-size and recall that Xtherm have taken the leap to Type on their model. (any users got a "head to head insight" on these two very comparable models on spec and price??)
Have any user here had there hands on both and able to compare pro / cons between Xtherm's low key version and THermal Expert Q1??.
