It doesn’t look like you’ve selected a Ryzen 7 or i7.

I think I recall it being said that the factory which builds the other CPU configurations doesn’t have the 61Wh battery, which is why you can’t choose it (as an extra cost option). I could be misremebering that.

No, they just have lots of 55Wh batteries in storage and they want to use through the rest of them.
