Many of us prefer larger laptops and find 13.5" too small for regular use. If a larger body were developed there would presumably be space for additional battery in addition to a larger keyboard and screen, maybe even more ports or extra devices[0]. Alternatively the system could be used as a screen-tablet with a wireless keyboard. Were either of these form factor changes considered as a potential design path during development? Do you have any plans to provide these as options in future? Presumably other than sourcing the panel, larger inbuilt keyboard and machining alternate cases neither option would be substantially difficult.

More ports would require another mainboard sku. But yeah I'd love a 15+ inch with 6 ports and more battery.


Why? The ports don't need to be independent host-side channels. Worst case the addition of one extra embedded USB-C hub should allow almost any number of ports and devices to be added.


Agreed, I also am not interested in anything not at least close to 16 inches.
