The mod makes the repairable thin-and-light laptop significantly thicker

While I love every bit of what's going on here, "significantly thicker" doesn't even begin to describe things 😆

    It's big, but it could be bigger. I want it in an FW 16.

    Also, a tungsten body. I want my muscles to scream when I pick it up.

    Starting with a 16 instead of 13 would also free up expansion module slots (in addition to the fact that the 16 has six slots as opposed the 13's four slots). This mod uses one of the slots to run the keyboard, dials, etc. On the other hand, the 16's input module interface is a glorified USB 2.0 pinout that could be used for this instead, leaving all six expansion module slots free.
