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
if you cared enough to; obviously a lot less easy than flashing a custom bios
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
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
my mum wondered wtf was going on
they just throw it into my mailbox though

I'd usually get everything I ordered in the span of a week or two all at once
