I'm happy to answer questions that folks have around this product.

Kinda related - any plans to expand the list of countries you ship to this year? Though, I am waiting for the 16"

We shared during our event in March that we'll be adding Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Taiwan this summer. We're building infrastructure to scale beyond that too, but we don't have a timeline or specific set of countries we can share yet.

Will you ever stop iterating on the chassis and focus purely on the replaceable components? Seems to me that a reparable/upgradable laptop doesn't matter if you keep changing the chassis such that in order to enjoy new features you need an entirely new laptop every iteration. It also feels to me, as an 11th gen owner, that I've been left behind with my power and sound issues. Which is basically the same boat as any laptop user.

I'm in the same boat. Though, I think about it differently; the fact that I can print a case and use the mobo as a headless server is a differentiator for me. I also don't know if it's possible to design an attractive functional chassis that doesn't need iterating.

That being said I'd like to see a recycling program, or some way to reduce the environmental impact from upgrades.

What's changed about the chassis?
