It's just usb-c power right?
Yes, and so what?
As surprising as it may seem, some might still want to use the supplied charger because they don't have spare ones powerful enough for the laptop.
I have a Macbook with Magsafe and 6 USB-C phone / small devices chargers. None of them could power a Frame.work so I cannot just use another charger because it's usb-c
Just buy one if you need. I don't understand people who prefer forced bundles over deciding what to buy.
Unless you think an included charger is free. It's not, it's factored in the price.
Spot on, last time I bought a laptop it came with a charger, so that's why I was referring to this and why I was concerned about its compatibility with my power plugs.
As I was still unable to order a frame.work yet I wasn't aware that frame.work didn't include by default a charger, so your point makes perfect sense.
In this case then I'll probably end up buying a charger — because none of them in my possession is able to cope with the watts required.
