Understandable, well, if you have an idea about how you want to pack things into the space (whether side-by-side or on top of each other), then that helps. Everything in my prototype is side-by-side, which makes it wider, but less thick. Of course, it's also space-inefficient and some components...

Sure - it sounds like the Framework 13 might suit you in principle, since it's only 11.6" x 9", and you can get the DIY edition to build it yourself for cheaper. But it depends on what kind of criteria or objectives you have in mind. I didn't explain this in the OP, but the Framework 13 just...

Yeah, I found prices in particular to be difficult to compare fairly, so really I should put a large qualifier for that in the summary... 😄 Ahh yes, so PIO is the term. That's the next thing I was going to look into cause I'd seen one or two boards around, not many though. I just tried a 1U...

Damn that's a great tip. I'm gonna get one now. The prototype's 4.4 kg is just the unit without a brick, but I'm surprised to hear about that P70 starting at 3.4 kg! I guess this isn't too crazy yet then. It's gonna get heavier though, with a DGPU inside like a 4060 LP, and decent speakers...

> What is this? tl;dr: I recently finished a mostly-handworked prototype for a laptop based around the thin mini-ITX (hereafter "thin ITX") motherboard form factor, using a 17.3" display and a Li-ion battery. I am gauging interest while considering next steps to production. Completed prototype...
