Yep, just finished doing that actually. A little hacky to get the wifi antenna to sit cleanly on the bottom part of the case, but otherwise worked out perfectly!
I don’t really know, haven’t measured. Likely less than a normal MacBook Air since the display is gone. Regardless, I live in San Diego and our electricity is already so overpriced that it just doesn’t even register for me anymore anyways.
Can you then completely remove the screen?
