Can I cannibalise the screen from one and put it into the other?

Searching tinternet shows they're both 12.1 inch screens, but I don't know if that means they identical.

This might help: https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/43y6632_05.pdf

It says that there are many screen FRUs, but looks like there are only two types (which may or may not be compatible, I'm not sure): “12.1-in. WXGA TFT” and “12.1-in. WXGA+ TFT”. I would somehow check what resolutions your screens have and if they are the same then they should definitely be compatible
