We know how to make laptops now, and the framework is fine. A major development, like Apple-level power efficiency would require less airflow than x64. Don’t think there’s anything major to worry about. May need the 16 for pro-level local LLMs for a while.
Don’t listen to defeatist BS. If a candidate needs to grow, the response should be to give them small projects to lead and grow. A few university classes in missing subjects, coaching, etc. Not keep them in purgatory.
I think they have another USB-C on the back if you get the upgraded video module. I wish all desktop replacement laptops had copious ports on the back like my Dell from ~2010 did. Who wants video cables jutting out sideways across your desk?
