Wow...

He implies it's costly, but he did not mention any prices. On the hardware side, all it needs is a T25 topcover + KB and that's it?

Ive priced some stuff out and it looks like if buying through Lenovo Encompass the mod can be done for just about 300 USD right now.

-T25 Keyboard (01HW487)
-T25 Palmrest (01HX686)
-T25 Trackpad (01LV506)
-T25 Power button, media key bezel (01HX690)
-T25 Power button cable (01HX688)
-T25 Power button PCB (01HX689)
-T470 hinges (01AX952)
-T470 fingerprint reader (01AX699)

My BOM may be missing things, but if there are errors hopefully someone points them out here: viewtopic.php?f=68&t=130131&p=842213#p842213
