New processor, better, brighter display, 120Hz display refresh, thermal improvements in cooling of processor and voltage regulation system, color-coded expansion modules to match bezel, high monitor resolution to avoid fractional scaling, better webcam, new expansion module for SD card storage, option for keyboard with "Super"-labeled key rather than Windows key.

For small-medium businesses, can ship with Windows 11 and provides longer warranty, scaled up support staff.

Neither of my two wishlist items, 100Wh battery or triple mechanical trackpad buttons, though.
- Is the 61 watt hour battery new vs the 55? I'm not expecting 100 wh in a small 13" laptop, but 61 is an improvement. I'd really like to see at least 70 (like the 14" MBP) in something that size.
  
  Lack of wifi 7 is also disappointing

  I think I read about that being an option earlier.

  90+ wh batteries
  
  I'm definitely not the only one who wants them to max out the battery.
  
  Framework just announced today a new 61Wh battery upgrade which will fit in the original case. That’s an 11% upgrade from the original 55Wh battery.
Would like to know if this will be able to upgrade to use Thunderbolt 5 or USB 4 v2 for proper eGPU support in the future.
