I have an Acer travelmate spin b3, which is a 11" convertible laptop.

Left side: * barrel jack charging port * HDMI * microSD slot * USB-C (also usable for charging) * Gigabit ethernet

Right side: * USB-A * 3.5mm jack

Even discounting the microSD slot and the barrel jack, this is 5 ports. On a 11" laptop.

Granted, it's not exactly thin, but I really don't care.

And the 13” Framework has a 3.5mm jack in addition to the four expansion cards, meaning the two are neck-and-neck.

Maybe the Framework could have squeezed in some more ports if they weren’t customizable, but I prefer the flexibility.

On the Framework laptop 13, the 3.5mm jack is built-in (not an expansion card).
