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...

It's fairly safe process and teaches lots of new skills for you. You can use even Raspberry Pi 1 for it. Just build the image with computer and not RasPi.

The guide is just 12 mins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqjsM18pKCE&pp=ygUXQ29yZWJvb3QgVGhpbmtwYWQgVDQ0MHA%3D
