The maintenance manuals are wonderful. They have come is handy
for my T40p and T60 laptops.

OH... THAT's what that means. :/ I needed to open my T60 to
replace the CPU fan and ended up with one screw LESS than I
needed.

That is a sweet upgrade. I have imagined doing something
similar for my T60 and swap out the 235GB HDD for an SDD double
the size.

What an island keyboard? The x131e looks like any other
laptop.

Ah.. but do they all work? My T40p and T60 saw diminishing
functionality with the USB ports over the years.
