Ask HN: Help me find HN post about building laptop

1 pointtietjens3 comments

Within the last 4-6 months there was a blog post here from someone who traded in their Apple M1 or M2, bought an older Windows laptop and refurbished many of the parts themselves, ordering them off Alibaba. They even changed the screen.

I loved this post and was inspired by it but now I cannot find it even after searching for some time. Does anyone know or remember?

I am almost sure that the laptop was Lenovo, I have never seen any example of doing this to other laptops. For example, there are kits available to buy which can use a DP line as a source of image to Full-HD IPS instead of stock display (of course, DP port on the laptop stops having ability to connect an external monitor after this modification).

It may be this one:
