Looking for info on whether an upgrade to Bluetooth LE Audio is being considered or in process for Laptop 13. This is going to be Very Important for anyone using hearing aids and wants to pair them to the laptop. Is this a discrete hardware bit, or is BT function incorporated into some other device?

The bluetooth functionality is part of the wifi chip. It is swappable, and different laptop models come with different wifi cards. The latest AMD model comes with an “AMD RZ717” which is actually a mediatek chip, while the latest Intel model comes with an Intel AX211 (or AX210? not sure).
Here’s some specs for the Intel AX210 for example: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/204836/intel-wifi-6e-ax210-gig/specifications.html It just says Bluetooth 5.3 so you’ll have to search around to find more bluetooth capability details.
