> keyboard and a mouse

That's the part that's hitting me the most.

I have two dongles for the wireless connectivity of both, and the choice is between sticking both in a dock and bring the same huge dock every single place I go, or move them from dock to dock as needed.

Having two USB-A would mean I stick them on the machine itself and never think about it anymore. Then if they could completely disappear inside the port extensions it would be a dream.

TBH I wouldn't be using the Framework as my primary work laptop either way, use cases are very limited and I already have the power and modularity needed with the Z13, but as a personal laptop for way wider use cases it ticks all the right boxes. If only it shipped outside of US and EU.

I understand. I have a mini hub, something like 10x4x1 cm. Works fine for me and it even also has Ethernet.

As mentioned, I'm sure Ftamework has valid usages. To me they command a much higher price premium than I'm comfortable with paying for those valid usages however.

I do love and want a libre booting stack. To me _that_ is the really good stuff. But they need to chill on prices.
