Cool as they may be these are just dongles that integrate into the chassis, the exact same can be accomplished with a dock or dongle. Additionally IMO most consumers could count on 1 hand how many times they have used external IO, a person might use a flash drive once in a blue moon, but everything is in the cloud now.
>Finally when it comes to upgradability you can't upgrade the motherboards/cpus on 99% of laptops, certainly not to hardware that came out after the laptop shipped, you can on the framework (now selling 12th gen intel cpus).
While this is true and awesome, I would like to see if they are able to continue this when the upgrade is more of a major shift, for example to compete with the M1 we could see a shift to integrated HBM, and WiFi in Intel and AMD CPUs.
