Do Macs still favor charging via the USB-C ports on the right side? IIRC charging on the left caused overheating/throttling. I'd be interested to know if the Framework also favors a specific port for charging.

Not anymore. The latest Intel and all of the M1 based ones work fine from either side with no heat issues.

This sounds like a thing that happened on the Intel ones. The M1 laptops have a large cooling overhead that would render the point moot.

One other difference is that the M1 MacBook Pros only have one port on the right side and two on the left now, which has been annoying a few times

Oh Idk actually. I was happy to learn it still works on the magsafe ones so I can still use the old charger though.
