I don't know much about battery or speakers, but better is good I suppose? I'm personally extremely excited for the Connectors blog post coming up next

So happy they’re not putting the speakers out the bottom, my current laptop does that and it’s infuriating trying to listen to music or even be on calls without headphones.

Speaking of which, wonder if anyone here knows how good the DAC is in the current 3.5 jack boards when it comes to hifi music. I do have an external DAC but it’s not convenient to carry with me.

I was making some comparisons between the chassis of the FL13 and FL16 and was not expecting a much bigger battery size (mostly due to the limited distance between the lowest expansion cards and the bottom of the device) and am pleasantly surprised that they fit an 85 Wh battery. The new battery connector is also a great move! The side firing speakers are hopefully also an improvement, especially with separate tweeters and bass. This is exciting.
