    They can pry my obsolete and low-end (read: not covered in that awful rubber, that turns back into crude oil after a while) ThinkPad from my cold dead hands!

    BTW how does screen upgrades work for T440/L440? (Both have the same screens from my research)

      I bought a t480 this year, and I’m kinda wondering how long I’ll be able to get replacement parts for it.

        A lot longer than you think, since other manufacturers also use similar screens (eDP is a godsend of a standard), and not everything is completely changed between generations. In fact, I can put 450/550 trackpads into my ThinkPad (common modification), others come with more caveats (putting classic keyboards into 430 chassis needs some modifications, etc.). Currently I’m in the process of acquiring a Core-i7 CPU and 16GB of RAM.
