I want to love the frameworks but the modifiable ports being a slot-in usbc dongle feels like such a cheap hack. Last I checked, the only available Ethernet module still sticks out of the case like a Lego brick
That's weird, I know several folks who like their frameworks. Certainly the build quality is a little so-so, but the magic of small samples I suppose.
To be fair, that's exactly what the original poster said that they "really miss[ed]", so it seems like a good recommendation.
