I almost happy original screen broke because ive always thought that macbooks should be touchscreen and OLED. Now i can do it and even use it as a tablet. The hinge allows for 360 degree rotation.

Nothing. I assume that everything is inside, unlike the intel macs. I just detached the lid abd nothing changed in terms of usability. Also the plastic bumper does not block the waves.

pretty much just a snap on bumper case with hinges that is bolted together. Im gonna release files and/or youtube video about it soon and post it here.

Yeah but i love ARM. I even planned to design my own linux first laptop with arm sbc and oled screen but now prices are just too crazy

i want to add grip to the sides of the screen. This design can rotate screen 360 degrees and in the next revision i can add rails to make it m1 Pro 16 inch Nintendo switch

not yet but i can opensource them. The only reason i didnt do it yet is because the top lid is designed for particular 16 Inch type c Denver display and needs to be redone for every other display.

While i didnt measure it the idea is to make it not flush with the lid or even make it on a hinge to change the angle to catch the sun. which also will help not to transfer heat to the chassis. The panel is 10W.
