Can try Sim Lim Square and ask around for quotes to compare?

Alternatively, see any helpful soul in this thread who has experience in upgrading of thinkpads willing to help to replace the whole keyboard (to place order online for new hardware) for a token sum (to be discussed and agreed upon).

Saw before some used Thinkpads for sale online such as Lazada, Qoo10, Shopee.

Thanks guys. Decided to use an external keyboard instead of repairing/replacing keyboard. For my kid doing e-learning actually. She must have spilled water on it and don't dare to admit

can anyone share with me (via pm if cannot post here) where is the cheapest to get a fully customized x1 carbon gen 8 laptop?

I looking for the following specs:
i7 / 16gb ram / 512 ssd / WWAN / UHD screen / Adobe photoshop elements

It is a pain to replace. Need to remove everything - motherboard, transparent keyboard frame etc. to get to the keyboard.

It is a total dismantle. Took me 3 hours.

Hi,
Have a ThinkPad bought from USA coming to end of warranty.
Thinking of extending for $USD 110 for 2 years - worth it?

Have anyone done this before and wanted to confirm if it is also under its international warranty?

Thanks.

I bought extra 2 years warranty for my US X1 Carbon to make it 3 years, but can only use US credit card to buy e warranty.

oh ya mine is end of 3y (thinking if i want to get 2 more yrs).
it's 81 for yr 4 and another 108 for yr 5.

not very worth it; though in SG its more exp than that.

think is always better to buy closer to warranty expiry; cheaper.

my t470 easy to upgrade though if it happens it will be trouble-some to DIY.

the machine is v v good to date

think overseas credit card oso can; but they will call and validate.
thanks.

Is it worth getting T470s or older X1 carbon like Gen 5th from Ebay USA and shipping it over with Vpost?

X1 Nano SG product page is up. No models available for now but hopefully Lenovo starts selling them soon!
