Yes, but the recess is also part of the design. My criticism is of the thing as a whole.

Frankly, an actual extension cable would be much more useful.

It's also advertised as if the extended port is the only viable option. It's explicitly recommended to get one for a charging port! Does the charger really not fit in the recessed port?

Again, this is all for a laptop that's explicitly advertised as minimizing e-waste.
