    I'll start: A SONY VAIO (ironic how they're gone outta market now) with FIREWIRE and MAGIC GATE card. The firewire port was never used, the Magic Gate cards were a rip off compared to the SD CARD slot.

    I intended to flog Blu Ray Disc images of my own but that kinda flopped too.

    I also have a 2019 Mac Mini. It came with a network port - never to have a cable stuck in it. (4G wifi is pretty good for me)

    What useless features does your machine have?

    I was just looking at an old case today with a FireWire port, never had a device that used it.

    A few laptops had card readers, one even had a SIM slot built in. I've never used their Kensington Security Slots either.

    One desktop had hot swappable HDD trays on the front. I thought I'd get great use out of them, but used them maybe twice.
