Hello everyone! Back again with the first of a series of videos involving major upgrades to my ThinkPad T430. In this video I run through the process of replacing the original and somewhat controversial "island-style" keyboard with a classic keyboard from the previous generation. I'm very pleased with the results and hope this helps some of you! Stay tuned for the next upgrade video!
