maybe the t430 is a little better than the t440
think they're about the same
they changed things around on key placements
t430 still has the acpi audio keys
I'd probably swap keyboard out with a T420 one if I had T430, never liked chiclet
even when I had a macbook
the plunge on thinkpad keys makes them so satisfying compared to most shitlet keyboards
all personal preference tho innit
i'd do the mod but it requires quite a bit more work than just a straight swap
really? I thought you just pop the keyboard up and reconnect a new one
no there's bios modding and a pin that you need to block off
that's not too bad, I'd assume you're bios modding a thinkpad immediately anyway
yea
mine came with a really recent bios version
can't do a custom one
like a bios that came out in 2016 recent
lenovo decided now was the time to kick out custom bios for old-ass t420 I guess
you can downgrade using the pomona 8 pin soic clip can't you?
Maybe, I couldn't find many guides for a bios this recent
the whole mod with changing the palmrest would almost cost as much as the laptop
$20 palmrest, $40-50 keyboard. i paid $130 for this thing ha
i was dead set on replacing the keyboard but it really seems pointless now that i've typed on it quite a bit more
feels fine.
what's the palmrest? I might need one
thinkpad T series makes my wrist flare up
it's all on the page i linked to
nice
the palmrest is for allowing the T420 keyboard to fit perfectly without shaving
I'm not a fan of scraping or filing down plastic to make parts fit
i havent received any chink stuff in 5 days
whats going on
call your police

The local post office is hoarding it
I swear royal mail hoards my chink shit and then delivers it all at once
tbh might be true
i would be pretty fucking upset if i had to deliver tiny packkages every day of the week to some random chink shit enthusiast :^)
That happened to me before
post guy knocked on my door every single day of the week
