The customization ability of Framework, for my use cases, appears to be overblown. "You don't have to use hubs/dongles", they say. The laptop on my desk has six things plugged into it, two more than the number of customizable ports that Framework offers. And I would much rather plug/unplug one or two USB-C hubs than unplug four separate items on both sides of the laptop.

For someone with a smaller set of peripherals and working mostly mobile, it might be worth it - if they were fine with the non-customizable aspects such as the trackpad and keyboard. But I'm not one of those people.
