I noticed that the campaign's main page on "Crowd Supply", says "Only 1.1 kg weight" for the lap-top. Is this specification, still part of the plan?
And how wide is the lap-top planned to be (from the left edge of the case, to the right edge, across the key-board)? (I imagine that 15.6 inches is for the screen itself rather than the whole case, and is a diagonal measurement.)
First, I don't represent Luke, but given what he has said in the past,

I don't see why not, the storage drive isn't an ssd nor is it a hdd. Also the battery is not a 9 cell, a 6 cell or even a 3 cell. 1 cell.
Also, I imagine it has very few wires/components inside of it.
No wifi card or ethernet card instead it uses wifi adapter usb.
I guess my point is, I don't see why it wouldn't be really close to that description.

As for this, I cannot comment at all. Luke did tell me once that it would seem more like a 14 inch. At least that's what I recall anyways him telling me. *(**I asked WAY TOO MANY QUESTIONS*!*)
*But yeah, unless someone else reponds and says otherwise, who knows about the project I assume that's the answer you'll get. **

yes. no metal except that of the LCD (which i recall was 400g). no SSD, no HDD, no fans, no heatsinks (except the metal of the keyboard is in direct contact with the metal of the CPU Card case). it's a good illustration of the "mass decompounding" effect, a phrase first used in the vehicle industry.

you can check for yourself by downloading the GPLv3-licensed 3D CAD source code. https://www.youmagine.com/designs/libre-hardware-licensed-parametric-laptop-...
(I imagine that 15.6 inches is for the screen itself rather than the whole case, and is a diagonal measurement.)
the LCD is listed on the rhombus-tech page, from which the datasheet may be sourced, and there is approximately 2mm left and right, about 10mm top, about.... 25mm at the bottom.
that gives the overall dimensions.

That page said "The parts are deliberately designed to be printable on a standard 200x200mm Mendel90 style 3D printer, so that even a 15.6in laptop may be created by printing the longest parts (260mm) across the diagonal of a Mendel90 print bed (280mm)." But I guess that 260 mm is not meant to span the whole back of the screen, considering things lower down on this message.

Yes, the "youmagine"-page led to http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/laptop_15in/news/ to http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/laptop_15in/ to "AUO B156XTN02.2" for LCD, from which "duckduckgo" led to http://www.panelook.com/B156XTN02.2_AUO_15.6_LCM_parameter_15249.html which said "outline size of 359.3(W)×209.5(H)×5.5(D) mm" I did not get the "PDF"-data-sheet offered there, because I do not have login-credentials there. But the quoted numbers are probably correct, and are confirmed by http://www.lcd-source.com/Product_Specifications_AUO_B156XTN02.2
359.3 mm width of LCD, plus 2 mm on the left, plus 2 mm on the right, is 363.3 mm, or about
14.3 inches wide for the top part of the "clam-shell".
Thanks for the directing. That about answers my question.

that's the vertical.
case is thus divided into 7 separate parts for LCD and 7 main structural parts for the body.
vertical @ 260mm
left right middle
horizontal @ 160mm (appx):
front left front right back left back right
it's... complicated.
