In the past, I replaced the keyboard on (if I recall correctly) an x260. This involved a 30-minute tutorial on unscrewing several dozen differently sized screws, taking apart the device in its entirety from the bottom, removing the motherboard, removing more body fixtures, and finally pulling the keyboard out. Through the bottom.
Recently, I looked up the process for doing the same on the x13 gen 2, released fairly recently.

You take two screws out of the bottom and the keyboard pops off. That's it. Fucking incredible if I do say so myself. Especially considering they achieved this WHILE ALSO making the device thinner and sleeker. It's a nice surprise to see some things becoming -more- repairable.
