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!

I have a ThinkPad slightly newer than yours. I didn't think about upgrading it until I saw your post. Now that's the route I'm more inclined to take instead of replacing it when the time will be, so thank you for your post!

Did you have any issues with brightness control after upgrading your screen? At least for my model, I heard many people complaining about being unable to adjust the brightness after changing the part.
