Just a dumb question, can you use a higher rated PD charger like a 100W on the 60W FW13 or it will fry the mobo?

Any 65+W PD charger will work AFAIK. I already have 65W and 100W travel chargers that I plan to use for my FW13

Yes, but there are smaller GaN chargers out there if you care about saving space.

FW has said the laptops are designed to work on any usb charger in case of an emergency so theoretically you can even use an old 5w iPhone charger. That would be a terrible idea as it would take way too long to charge, but the option is there
