We often see people funneling their passion into keeping beloved devices in operation long past their manufactureris intent. These replacement Thinkpad motherboards [Chinese] bring old (yet beloved) Thinkpads a much desired processor upgrade. This is the work of the user [HOPE] on the enthusiast forum 51nb. The hack exemplifies what happens when that passion for legendary gear hits deep electrical expertise and available manufacturing. This isnit your regular laptop refurbishment, [HOPE] is building something new.This is incredible. I wish someone could do this with an iBook G4 or a 12.1" PowerBook.
