thinkpad e540 keyboard swap
Does anyone know if I can change the keyboard from non backlit keyboard to a backlit keyboard? It is a 20C6008QUS. And is there a knock on those laptops? I don't own one but am contemplating on buying one.

I would presume that the answer is "yes" but I'm not an expert on Edge series.psychokilla wrote:Does anyone know if I can change the keyboard from non backlit keyboard to a backlit keyboard? It is a 20C6008QUS.
I don't quite understand the question...And is there a knock on those laptops?
If you mean "knock off" - the answer is "no".
If you mean something else, please clarify...

Re: thinkpad e540 keyboard swap
I THINK he means to ask if there are any inherent difficulties with this particular thinkpad model..
I would say the "knock" on the X1 Carbon is the really idiotic keyboard..
which makes any easy task more difficult..
