I replaced the battery in my ultra thin laptop.

Credit where it's due, Lenovo made it very easy to swap.

While you're in there, might as well clean out the fan really well. Your PC will live longer as a result.

Love repairing old electronics and keeping them working.

I used to have an X1 Carbon 1st Gen, and the battery life was about 2 hours at the time. That wasn't enough for my use case, so I removed the screws, carry a second battery, and would swap it as needed. Always surprised people around me, casually ripping open the palm rest to swap the battery.

That is such a brilliant idea! I may have to start doing that.

I threw some canned air on it before putting it back together. Thanks for looking out homie!
