In wish I could have lived for a month or two with the Framework system to get a better feeling of it.
I'm usually either docked at my primary desk and only need a single USB-C, or moving from place to place and need 2 USB-A and a full size SD reader. I imagine the nice part with the insets is they're flushed so they'less surface to hit when moving the machine around.
I'd actually love to make my own insets that bakes the wireless dongles in them, that sounds doable.
If you have a 3D printer you can print enclosures https://www.printables.com/model/139879-framework-laptop-exp...

I've yet to build one, but this project looks very interesting in that regard.
