My Thinkpad T480

Late 2023 to early 2024 I thought id make a friend a little gift in form of a used Thinkpd T480 Laptop cuz they didnt have a pc at the time.
Anyways they didnt want it cuz they wouldve felt bad taking such an expensive gift and now i got a new Laptop to play around with.
what i plan on doing is add a eGPU, upgrade Battery, RAM, Storage and switch to a glass trackpad, potentially also a display swap.
I saw a reddit post of a user also doing an entire motherboard swap, but at this point in time it seems to pricey and not worth the effort (the reddit post)
I also plan on switching to linux arch instead of Windows 11
