Nope, connecting a high-resolution monitor should have no performance impact on the laptop. While gaming, the resolution the game is rendering at will make a big difference to frame rate, but not the resolution of the display itself.

It's a textbook example of selection bias

Yes, as long as the hub supports USB-PD charging, which most should.

Which version of the Framework 13 do you have?

If you look at the Specs tab for any given model, under the "Connectivity" heading you can see the model of the WiFi/Bluetooth card.

I've been in a position to appreciate this as well - if you get lucky and no electronics are damaged, it's possible to strip all of them out and bend/hammer the aluminum back into shape without fear of causing further damage.

In the desktop space, all of those secondary and tertiary timings being auto-set to something reasonable depends on the specific RAM kit being on that motherboard model's QVL. I have no idea if something similar is at play here, but if so, it could explain people getting poor results with anything other than 5600 MHz RAM similar to or better than what Framework sells.

To further clarify where I think OP's confusion is coming from: there's no difference in port compatibility on AMD between HDMI and DP. That's why you'll see the graphic simply label it as "Display Output." The HDMI expansion card converts from DP internally.

CL46 I believe.

CL40 is better than CL46. CL stands for CAS Latency, or Column Access Strobe Latency: lower is better.

That being said, I have yet to see any head-to-head comparison between 5600 CL46 and 5600 CL40 kits. My assumption is that it would be minor in most cases. The primary performance benefit to higher-frequency (and therefore higher-bandwidth) RAM is iGPU performance. I wouldn't expect that to be terribly latency-sensitive.
