> [@CMoney](#): > > Thinness and lightness are appealing to many laptop customers Yup, same here. I actually use my laptop on… my lap 😲, so weight is quite relevant. > [@Bionicman](#): > > no trackpoint options I’ve used those. They’re awful. Touchpads are better (though to be fair, I much prefer, and mostly use, a proper external mouse). > [@CMoney](#): > > it looks like Framework is right in the middle of it with 4 ports My current laptop has: 3 USB 3.1 (2 type A, 1 type C), full-size SD, SIM, mini-DP, full-size HDMI, RJ45 (ethernet), 2 mini-RCA (audio in/out) and power (barrel plug). That’s _ **eleven** _. Honestly, four _is_ a huge step backward for me, especially as I _use_ five regularly (power, network, and mouse are _always_ in use, and I sometimes want to plug in my phone and/or an SD card). > [@Bionicman](#): > > people who […] like to be able to just press a button and swap to their second battery […] wouldn’t care if it is 1300 grams or 1600grams I don’t personally know any such people, but… good news! The Framework concept means these people could theoretically get a different shell that _does_ have an external battery but otherwise uses all of the same internal components. I think Framework has the right idea to start with targeting the mainstream. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.frame.work/t/awesome-concept-strange-execution/1756)._
