I've seen some guides... but this is beyond my abilities...

I encourage you to look for parts that you can upgrade, sometimes it is possible to find them for very little money. And the satisfaction of doing it yourself...

In my case I have not found any problem with the brightness control, I continue to do it as usual, using the specific buttons on the keyboard.

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!

Does anybody else feel dirty when they visit reddit? by josemas in c/reddit@lemmy.world

Same here. But I've noticed that I'm starting to spend more time here than on Reddit, not bad.
