I bought one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QXMNF1X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...

One USB-C connection powers my laptop, connects to my monitor, as well as my wireless mouse and keyboard.

I love the modular laptop concept, but not for ports. For those who don’t want them hanging, these are perfectly color matched, made of the same kind of aluminum as the Air, and sit flush. I prefer it to having extra bulk to the base laptop.

That's a lot of extra steps to just having the damn ports.

I’d argue it’s less steps than preordering the framework laptop, pulling it apart and swapping modules around.

The average person can walk in to the apple store and walk out with a MacBook and usb c hub just fine.

Modules slide out, you don't need a screw driver or anything. It's all by hand. Hence the easy of use.

So no pulling anything apart. Think of it almost as each one as a game boy cartridge.

Sounds like it's actually fewer steps when connecting+disconnecting to stop+start work.
