I'll start this with my current project. It's a Dell Studio XPS 1640 16" laptop. Got cheap due to cosmetic nastiness and someone's previous downgrades.
First job, already done, was to up the CPU from a Core 2 Duo T6600 to a T9550.
Next will be a new display. this one works well, but is 1366x768, the one inbound is full HD 1920x1080.
The extraction work for that will entail removing the keyboard, and that needs doing too, along with the optical drive which is actually broken rather than needing upgrade.
Finally, fit new battery, and Robert is your dad's brother.
All parts incoming, a job for when the rain returns.
