> Excuse me Sir, do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour, the Framework laptop?
Very gladly: It has even fewer ports than most mainstream laptops. The theoretical flexibility doesn't make up for the facts that it can have at most 4 ports, and the MicroSD reader counts as a port. So you can have one USB-C (which you need for charging), one USB-A to be able to connect a mouse, one HDMI to be able to connect a monitor that doesn't provide USB-C power, and a MicroSD card reader.
So you could in theory swap e.g. the charging port for a MicroSD reader, move all the files and swap again.
In any case I see your point. I always generally scoffed at laptops with less than four USB slots alone and lack of an ethernet port. But I have a 20€ dongle for that now, which is convenient for switching between the work and private laptop.

You don't get built-in Ethernet ever
