Meh, the model M is a poor replacement for the model F.

Get the even better model f, in this modern ortholinear layout https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/product/ortholinear-split-ergonomic-model-f-keyboard/

To be fair, all these ports put together can’t match a single USB-4 in bandwidth. And I get they are pretty useful to avoid dongles, but I bet your ThinkPad (with that many ports I’m guessing a W or T, maybe 30 series?) weights more than a framework and a competent USB-C hub.

(But I love the ergonomics of old ThinkPads, that’s why my x201 gets almost as much use as my T480)
