Seriously, what on earth is going on? They’re releasing a whole new laptop and have given the FL13 Ryzen AI options but there’s nothing new for the FL16. I’m hoping for a 2nd gen dGPU before I would get mine (or even a Zen 5 CPU, but I am OK with a Zen 4 as of now) but it seriously feels like there’s no progress on that front. The last thing they made for the FL16 was the Dual M.2 and that was in December. Will there be new parts for the FL16? When? If not, will there be another dGPU laptop offering?

    Building electronics can be a long process. The FW16 itself experienced many months of delays before it was finally released to preorder. Also, the 13" board that runs the same generation as the FW16 came out before the FW16.

    As a FW16 owner, I’d love some news myself, but they did just add two whole new SKUs which is going to take up some component of R&D time. They may be working at a tick/tock cadence for updating small devices then coming back to the large device.

      Yeah, I get that, but shouldn’t they have focused on making the existing products live up to their promise of upgradeability before releasing new SKUs?
