1 vert and 1 horiz is actually my favorite setup. I just dont have space for it next to my ultrawide.

Thats the Pointer Sisters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Number_Count on vocals there.
Buying online with in-store pickup is the best way to go these days. You can take your time evaluating which options you want int the comfort of your own home, and then be in and out of the store pretty quickly without worrying about delivery.

That's what I did when I got my last phone, and will do that on every subsequent purchase.

That's a disingenuous comparison. PCIe is not USB-C. You are comparing apples to oranges.

The Framework laptop expansion cards are all USB-C dongles in a different form factor. It's purely an esthetic choice. You don't like the dangle. Thats a valid opinion. I have a USB-C hub that handles all the connections I need in a dongle-dangle.

The only real objective benefit of it, IMO, (and this is HUGE) is the repairability. I am a huge fan of that, and hope that other makes would step up (or be forced to step up) and make the same kind of changes.

I like the self repair options, but the attachments are just dongles in another form factor
