Hi everyone,
I have never posted here and I don’t own a Framework (yet). I was hoping for some guidance regarding questions that might be obvious to all of you.
Why can’t I find any information about the Bluetooth capabilities in the specs? Is this the same on all models?
It is great that you can have Thunderbolt 4 capability on four ports. I didn’t see any ports for sale beyond USB-C. Could someone please explain how to implement this?
Thank you all very much!
Best regards,
Ian

All Framework laptops are equipped with the Intel AX210 wireless module which has Bluetooth integrated:
Framework uses expansion cards that connect to the internal USB-C ports. There are the USB-C passthrough cards, but there are also USB-A cards, microSD cards, HDMI cards, DisplayPort cards, Ethernet cards, 250GB cards and 1TB cards.

You can use any 4 simultaneously. Pick any 4 most appropriate for your needs when you order, and you can order additional ones from the marketplace. They are hot swappable as well, like any USB device.
Thunderbolt 4 is passed through the USB-C cards so you can connect to hubs or directly to TB devices.

Also, you should be able to configure which 4 cards you want when you order the laptop, you don’t need to order them after the fact.
