I'm in love with this big guy :)

And here are the upgraded components:

  • 1080P IPS Screen
  • 512GB SSD
  • DVD caddy replaced by a HDD caddy (intalled an additional 512GB SSD)
  • Processor upgraded to an i7-4712MQ
  • Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste upgrade
  • US keyboard replaced by another one with Spanish layout (original, found on eBay)
  • RAM upgraded to 12GB (enough for me)
  • Brand-new original 9-cell battery (also found on eBay)

I don't think I forget anything... well maybe the best upgrade: I use Arch, btw!

I've thought about doing it on more than one occasion (although I don't have a problem with the current one), but then I saw this video:

Has that happened to you?
