Old laptop, maybe. How many laptops since 2020 have an inbuilt Ethernet port?
- neogodless 3y agoAll gaming laptops (at least the ones I've bought) but I doubt most "thin and light" models have it. Not sure if 16" laptops for business have it. The X1 Carbon mentioned doesn't have it on current models.
- porphyra 3y agoI had to buy a weird proprietary dongle for my X1 Carbon to get ethernet.
- lucb1e 3y agoThe ones I and my girlfriend got for and from work both, so that's 100% in my experience But, yeah in 2018 when buying my previous consumer laptop, I already noticed that some are now trying to be too thin to fit a network port anymore. I really don't care about it being thin, though: I'd rather have good thermals and a big battery for Linux than filling 2mm less of the laptop pocket in my backpack... Still, so far there have always been options with that port I was figuring that Framework would be a brand to cater to these hacker wishes, hence my disappointment
