Questions about this for school (lemmy.one)

Hello Wonderful people!

I have a few questions. I mainly want a framework due to the right to repair aspect and the ability to upgrade at future points as needed

I'm getting this for college. Other then coursework I pretty much will only be watching videos, streaming from my jellyfin server, and very light gaming (think Celeste).

I wanted to know if I should go for the i5-1340P or the i7-1360P Framework 13? I doubt I need the processing power so much as I need the battery life. For context my current laptop has a Intel i7-10510U and a 73Wh battery. As for memory and storage, I intend on recycling those from my lemur pro which has 16gb of ram and 1 tb NVME.

My other question is if I should buy the 13 or wait for the 16 in general? I assume I could upgrade the 13 to the 16 specs at any point if I understand this laptop correctly. I want to ensure that I can just buy this and keep upgrading as needed.

Just to be clear with naming, Framework uses naming like Dell XPS laptops, which are Dell XPS 13/15/17 based on size.the name itself doesnt really tell you what hardware is in it, just like just saying Mac Book Air isnt specific. All it will refer to is what size youre expecting.
