I love the concept of Framework, the concept of upgradeable laptops and computers is genius! Say you have a budget that only allows for an i5, but instead of buying a new laptop when it comes time to upgrade, you could just buy the i7 from Frameworks. At least, that's how it comes off as from Linus Tech Tips. I haven't been around for the new updates from Frameworks, though I remember they release a new laptop and go…

Franework probably is ok if you can buy it.

I love the ingenuity, but I think this is an opportunity for Framework to make a bit of room inside the case for a pair of dongles. Given how easy they are to open and how often people have a dedicated wireless mouse / keyboard for their laptop, this would be a hugely useful feature.
