I’m willing to buy the SD expansion card available on the shop page : Framework | SD Expansion Card .
However, if I filter cards by processor, I doesn’t see it when I filter on “intel” compatible expansion cards.
Is it normal ?
Does someone have a Framework 13 with Intel and can nevertheless use this SD expansion card ?
Other informations
Which Linux distro are you using? Manjaro Linux
Which Framework Laptop 13 model are you using? 13th Gen Intel® Core™

It should work on any computer not just FW because it is just working as a USB-C (5 Gbit/s) SD-Card Reader.
This should be a error on the website. Just contact support so they can correct this.

There seems to be something sketchy going on with the filtering. If I select the expansion Card cateogory alone it says there are 21:
On the left side you se how much are “compatible” with the versions.
Filtering to the AI 300 it shows no DisplayPort or HDMI card. Which is definetly compatible:
Back to the top buttons. They filter entierly different:
Just Intel:
Intel and AMD:
And as you see there are 0 Expansion Card for the Laptop 12?!
Seems like a problem with the shop. I can confirm that the SD expansion card works fine on my Intel Core Ultra with both Windows 11 and Arch Linux.

I contacted support about the website filters.
I will wait and look what they have to say.
Really fast update from support:
“To provide a probable cause for this, the expansion cards may not have been updated or tagged appropriately on the website to be compatible with all Framework Laptops.
However, we want to assure you that all expansion cards work on any Framework laptop , and there is no compatibility issue with any of our variants.”
And they will fix it:
“We will forward this ticket for review so we can correct it.”
I did the same , same answer, wonderful.
Thanks for the help @Chr
