I love all of this.
I’ve never been brave enough to modify my laptops beyond the one time I sprayed a new (hard) topcoat on an Acer Aspire 5520g… which turned it from a flimsy piece of garbage into a slightly less flimsy piece of garbage.
I feel like running a Thinkpad x201 these days would be a lesson in frustration (for the browser bloat you mentioned) but that was my perfect laptop. If I could do a mainboard swap I would continue to use it.

I have romantic dreams about spinning a new mobo for the Toughbook, but it would have to include a screen transplant too. And at that point I probably fail a lot of the toughness that made it worthwhile in the first place.
