As someone with the 13, I would prefer the 6 slots on the 16 to the 4+headphone jack on the 13.
If you think that getting rid of the headphone jack would result in more slots, you’re out of touch with reality. There would be an additional slot on the other side of the chassis where there is no headphone jack, so 5 overall. But there aren’t. The headphone jack has absolutely nothing to do with the number of slots. Audio output is a tiny component.
Well… yeah. The 13 is smaller. I bought it before the 16 was a thing. The geometry as designed doesn’t allow 3 banks of slots.
I’m just saying, the 16 having 6 total slots, one or more of which can be an audio jack, is an upgrade. I have the audio jack module anyway specifically because it occasionally works better to have the jack on the right side of the laptop instead of the left, and then the built-in jack is vestigial.

It not being mega-ultra-built-in doesn’t matter.
