Thank you, Josh, I know that manual well, glad to see you're feeling better! Have you ever seen a take apart laptop manual like that before? Good stuff. The W Thinkpads more than most laptops in my experience are constructed that if nothing else you can at least safely remove the keyboard to install extra ram into any upper seated slots. Many laptop models, current and better featured will claim more ram slots than are reasonably accessible short of breaking off the keyboard panel. The Thinkpad has changed over the years and unsure what I think of it currently, no close friends have one yet. The Thinkpad P70 is the latest big screen, then the P50. After the W701 there was a long time gap into the P70.

A chore I have that needs to be done is verifying a duplicate motherboard for my daughter's computer. Her present board is fine and this is only a backup, but need to make sure it's a good one in case there's a need for an RMA from Newegg. :) How do you verify that? For example, do you ask your daughter to take a hike from her pc for a few hours while you disassemble and reassemble with the new -backup- board to test? :-) From what I recall you said she had a better system than yours so if possible try to run a novabench in lean and mean mode after shutting down all the junk after startup! Thank you!
