I'm in love with this big guy :)

And here are the upgraded components:

  • 1080P IPS Screen
  • 512GB SSD
  • DVD caddy replaced by a HDD caddy (intalled an additional 512GB SSD)
  • Processor upgraded to an i7-4712MQ
  • Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste upgrade
  • US keyboard replaced by another one with Spanish layout (original, found on eBay)
  • RAM upgraded to 12GB (enough for me)
  • Brand-new original 9-cell battery (also found on eBay)

I don't think I forget anything... well maybe the best upgrade: I use Arch, btw!

It also deserves the Coreboot bios :)

I've seen some guides... but this is beyond my abilities...

Actually even better news! T440p supports now libreboot and it has an option for internal flashing! So from now on you have only excuses left ;) lol
