It's time to get C H O N K Y! Big Grin


While I enjoy how light the PBP is (1.31 kg / 2.9 lbs), I was frustrated with the unbalance of pinebook pro and it's top-heaviness.

So I decided to experiment and added 4 OZ of tungsten putty and ~1.38 OZ of rectanglular pinewood derby weights.

Although my machine is 152 grams heavier, I can now open my pinebook pro with one hand (like a Macbook! an impossible feat before...) and it feels much more premium and balanced overall.

Pics and video included.
