I think the port selection opportunity is a fantastic win, because you and I have very, *very* different wants in terms of "normal" laptop ports. The swappable ports mean that you and I don't need to demand different products. - Charging port? Agreed. - Card reader? Nope. I haven't used a card for data storage in a decade. - Headphone jack? Nope. One is built in, but I've switched to bluetooth headphones, so I wouldn't waste a slot if it wasn't. - HDMI / Display Port? Nope, see the comments below about a hub. - Ethernet? Nope, see the comments below about a hub. I use a USB-C hub at home and at the office. They have an HDMI port, an ethernet port, power in, and two USB-A ports for my mouse and keyboard. I leave them at the desk, so I just have to sit down, plug in the one cable and I'm ready to go. I can drop down my Macbook or my Framework in the same spot and I'm ready to go. It's convenient enough that I don't understand why you wouldn't want to go with a hub. My older Framework only has 4 slots. One slot is USB-C for power, video, keyboard, mouse, ethernet, etc. My second slot has a USB-C FIDO key in it. The other two slots are for.... uh.... nothing? I keep USB-A slots in it just so that the bays aren't empty.
