Hey Nirav, congrats on the newest release and I'm really eyeing the 13 Pro.

A couple of questions:

1. How are the thermals? I've had mixed experiences with my 11th gen FW 13 throttling under load with the fan sounding noisy. It's fine if I'm alone but if I'm at a team gathering, it's noticeably loud.

2. Does the lid open with one hand?

1. Intel Core Ultra Series 3 is super efficient for video conferencing. That's a use case that Intel has specifically been optimizing for, so as long as you're using video conferencing software that leverages hardware encode/decode, which should be most of them at this point, the fan should stay off entirely.

2. We have one hand open on the lid for each generation of 13.

		1. That's awesome! I assume RDP or VNC would be the same then, I use that for work primarily. 2. Huh. Well, I feel like an idiot! I always use two hands when opening the lid, muscle memory, I guess. ps. one question you don't have to answer: for the wireless keyboard, did you guys consider something like a fingerprint sensor? I like the idea of having something like that akin to Mac's Wireless Keyboard but I don't know how much integration something like that would need.
