Eh, the RJ-45 jack is thicker than the laptop, I think this is good enough of a solution for now. And I’m someone that would spring for the ethernet adapter. I’d consider getting a framework, but I’d start by buying the low end of everything, and just see how many years I could keep running it, ship of Theseus style. That said, it wouldn’t be my main dev machine…
