If you’re having trouble deciding on a color for a new MacBook Neo, you might not have to choose just one. The folks over at MacWorld found that Apple doesn’t appear to limit the colors of spare parts you can buy for your Neo, potentially allowing you to deck out your indigo laptop with pink-tinted keyboard caps or a citrus green bottom cover.

Swapping out the parts shouldn’t be as difficult as with Apple’s other devices, as iFixit calls it the “most repairable” MacBook in 14 years. We’ve already seen some modders taking advantage of this, with one person boosting the Neo’s performance with a thermal mod, while another showed how they upgraded the device’s 256GB NAND chip to 1TB of storage.
