I don't have the 16, I have the 13, but I've been impressed. [The slots would be cooler if they were hot swappable, but it's generally not been an issue.] - Holy shit I can hot swap. Ignore this. Other points stand ;)

Build quality has been good, it survives being chucked in and out of my backpack and it's survived a drop off a bar stool to hard tile.

I really hope they keep iterating and improving, there's certainly things that could be better, but they're on to something in my opinion.

The Expansion Cards are indeed hot swappable!

Hot damn they are.

I thought all the slots were wired into the XCHI/Thunderbolt hub system, so they should be hot swappable, no? Or maybe my understanding of the system is incorrect.

I thought they were just big usbc dongles that slot into the device? Surprised that's not hot swappable.

[itdoesnotmatter]

They are hot swappable. I'm just a fool. Laptop just got cooler ;)

I hot swap the ports on my 13 all the time - what are you talking about?
