This is one of the best designed modular DIY laptops I have ever invested in! The step-by-step videos were fantastic, the captive screws in the middle plate was an excellent design choice, the components being placed top side under the plate (RAM, CPU, SSDs, etc.) is another very well executed design choice, the keyboards and the electronic contact points for the add-ons are very well designed and thought out. I am also very excited for the detachable expansion cards!
The separate videos guiding the assembly of the Laptop 16 were very informative and useful. I had my moments where the touch pad module wasn't fitting correctly and I absolutely fumed that maybe I did something wrong. But after looking through the videos, I tried once more to mount the touch pad module and it mounted as it should. I guess my own OCD bothered me that the touch pad module was not perfectly straight facing the keyboard.
All in all, the assembly took 20 minutes for me, plus another 25 minutes for the OS. I chose Zorin OS Pro as my OS.
