    Hello yall!

    As the title reveals, Im about to do a copper mod on my lappy... Only problem is, that I dont know which thickness of copper I should use.

    Would anyone happen to know the exact measures?

    I saw the Copper-mod guide for a Dell laptop, which required a 1.5mm thick copper plate.. But I doubt the thickness is the same... So I need some help :)

    Thanks
