Even the weirder of their models is still amazingly engineered, this was so easy to do and finding parts - not only of the same model but compatible newer parts - was an absolute breeze! Was able to upgrade my laptop during my work lunchtime, and still have time to actually eat lunch!

Just to confirm - Thinkpad X1 Carbon Generation 3 touchpads are compatible with this model, and make for an amazing upgrade.
