Ah, it was already mentioned in the previous thread too, that Ars review team had the ports configured incorrectly which resulted in higher power draw.
The alleged proof that they configured the ports wrong is a picture from their Intel framework review. "We're using the same pictures as a previous review because it's the exact same laptop." You can see the same picture here: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/05/review-framework-lap...
The Ars review also even mentions this problem: "Framework also says the rear ports enter a "high-power mode" when USB-A modules are connected to them, which can reduce battery life."
Either way, glad we have a new product we can blame the user for holding wrong.
