Yes their new spec does. I'm thinking the previous gen had a variation of Lazer tech as well but someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Sats take about 90 days to begin connecting to the Starlink network and reach their proper orbit, so any benefit is felt usually in the next season.
Just as an example I was having a tough time with about 5-8 disconnects a day of 5-15 seconds each last winter.
By the summer it was 2 per day.
Fall it was 3-5 a week.
Now it's maybe once a week when an owl or crow land on my satellite or some massive snowstorm and it dips for a few seconds once.
I've always had 100% visibility no obstructions. No hardware faults. Starlink support told me to expect these improvements over time.

Lasers will certainly enhance stability further.
