Re: (used) T420 QuadCore FrankenPad ~ To Buy or Not To Buy ???
no buying t420 over t430 is an idiotic decision no matter who recommends you that with some effort, the t430 can have 7-row keyboard just like the T420, but have the advantage of usb3/better chassis/better chipset. it will accept 2133mhz memory (g.skill cl11) with factory bios I recommend you visit ...

Re: Replacing the depreciated ThinkWiki, Thinkba.se (by yttrium)
I find the mockup's aesthetics too "cutesy" to be considered a serious Wiki page, but that's just me. Besides that, as long as the contents are correct and useful, I'll give it a thumbs up for the effort. It's as a placeholder only The actual website won't look like that, according to the developer

Re: P71 e-1505M v6 vs i7 7820hq, is it worth the upgrade?
Hey guys! I was considering getting the P71, I was trying to decide between the Xeon e-1505M v6 or the i7 7820hq, they are so similar in specs, the e-1505M v6 is just 0.1Ghz faster (4.0Ghz vs 3.9Ghz max).... and if I'm not mistaken the e-1505M v6 accepts both ecc ram and non-ecc ram? It only costs ...

Trackpoint cap / rubber / hat r/ nub replacement?
I can find collection (3 style, 1 of each per pack, made in japan) original caps but they're intended for newer keyboards so the cap itself is shorter in height and doesn't fit the 7-row style perfectly. Tried looking around around ebay, amazon, aliexpress shows either that they're not genuine or ha...

I'm not sure where FRC is processed (either on the screen itself or on the controller). But the packets are not separate afaik.

Re: T420s/T430s WQHD kits pre-order
According to @rmsmajestic it does (I'm assuming the T420/T430 adapters that were made from -S boards), but less to an extent compared to the v1 of Javi's T420/T430 FHD mod.
Then again the V1 did work with zero issues for some people. So YMMV.

Re: T420 and T430 heatsink fan interchangeability? Details?
If I understand correctly, 1 pipe v 2 pipe is not an issue. Rather, it's having a toshiba v delta FRU fan in the T430 to accomodate the higher tdp cpus. That point aside, I do not believe the T420 heatsink is compatible with the T430. I've opened both, and I think the shape is slightly different. L...

T420 and T430 heatsink fan interchangeability? Details?
According to Lenovo's FRU images, the T420 is available with a 2-pipe heatsink. I have some questions about this (FRU 04W0407) to people who have it. Compared to the other FRU, this one has a aluminum top instead of a copper top to cover the fan. Is the heatsin fins still copper or is it also alumin...

Oh.. More kits... Drool... End of the month can't come soon enough! So these are only compatible with T420s/T430s right? Cheers! Yes, and unfortunately parts are not interchangable with the FHD kits @rmsmajestic When will T420 and T430 kit (non-S) be available? I haven't heard back from you. Thanks...
