The reason that those USB adapters get hot is because they have to actively convert 3.3V to 5V. That's an inefficient process and it's what causes excess heat. My mod doesn't have …

For a single laptop? Not usually, although the T430 and X230 have some device-specific mods that took off. For the entire ThinkPad lineup spanning 5 generations? Oh yeah, definitel…

>the best thing to put in it is a bluetooth mouse If you're talking about a dongle and not a mouse itself, I've got a mod coming for that too~

The intention isn't to be faster than the internal bay, it's to add another drive to machines with limited drive support. For instance, X230 only has a single SATA3 drive accessibl…

As the other reply noted, I can be reached through a lot of different means, but you can actually do what you're asking to do through Indiegogo! When you select the 2pack and go to…

It was! I had to remove the entire ExpressCard cage on the X230 I was using for testing. However, as noted in your edit, I've since slimmed the drive down further. This is what it …

>An ebay hunt and hours with a soldering iron later, I had a seemingly-working miniPCIe slot. Didn't really have a use for it though, other than bragging rights. T440p supports thi…

This, the 480Mbit/s rating for USB 2.0 is bits, not bytes. USB2 theoretically caps out at 80MB/s (realistically much much lower) whereas even PCI-E 1.1 can hit 250MB/s (2.5Gbit/s b…

Yes, the very first prototype was a fairly poorly-produced FDM. The actual 3d model was high quality, but my brother just got it printed at his college's maker space, by someone wh…

It will be 3d printed, but I'll be using a higher quality ABS filament, and finishing each one nicely. If you know what to look for, you'll be able to tell it was 3d printed, but n…

It's really not that big of a deal, honestly. My biggest gripe with the T25 is definitely the display, but not because of the aspect ratio... The damn thing is 220nit. It's crazy d…

I feel like there's room for a couple of hobbyists to design and manufacture niche mods, as you've suggested. We've already seen it take off with Nitrocaster, and I think there's s…

The T420 was the last "IBM-feeling" ThinkPad in terms of design, while the T430 was the last competent machine of that generation, only having a few drawbacks while adding many ben…

I wouldn't have come up with a brand if I was only planning on making a single product!
