Question About Framework Ports (lemmy.jelliefrontier.net)

I'm configuring a Framework 13, and while selecting the ports, I came across a question that I couldn't determine from the pictures, product pages, or configurator:

Is there a dedicated USB-C port for docking and charging? That is, to say, if I don't choose USB-C for at least one of the expansion ports, will I still be able to plug it in to a USB-C dock? If not, how will I charge the laptop? Is there a dedicated charging port?

You need one port to be USB-C for charging.

The other three can be mixed and matched with whatever you like.

Thank you! That's what I suspected from the pictures, but I was able to select 0 USB-C ports with no warning, so I was confused.

Well, there is.

From the Expansion card selection step:

We suggest ordering 4 or more Expansion Cards, and that at least one is a USB-C Expansion Card for charging the laptop.
