Thinktacular

Linux Funtime ThinkPad Refresh Time! This is an X250 that was getting a little tired-out. It's got an i5-5300U – i.e. it's not too hopeless, but it just needed a little love. Particularly since the 1366x768 TN panel is truly and irredeemably horrible.

Get that old screen outta there, in favor of a 1080P IPS panel.

Industry-standard mustache comparison test of new screen.

New SATA and m.2 SSDs.

Clean off the old thermal crap, give it a fresh application.

Tasteful hologram cat sticker to match MacBook Pro.

Done.
