Hello everyone!

I am looking at purchasing a used Lenovo ThinkPad T530. The one that I will get will probably be the base model, with the exception of the graphics, which will be the NVS 5400. I will be installing an SSD, 16GB of RAM, backlit keyboard, and the upgraded 9 cell battery. I would also like to upgrade to the FHD Display on it aswell, considering that it would cost a LOT more to purchase with the FHD display than it is to just purchase one and install it myself.
I am comfortable with reinstalling or replacing laptop displays, as I have done it many times. I would like to know if the FHD display can be installed into this laptop to replace the previous display, or if I need to get the FHD or HD+ model to start with if it needs a special connection. Thank you!

-Sam

Why not get a different used laptop instead of the thinkpad and spending a lot of money on it?

Why not just answer the question instead of make fun of my choices?
 


Because I want to prevent you from making a mistake and wasting a lot of money on a laptop thats not worth it.
From the info I found all of them use the same display connector HOWEVER they all have a different display mounting mechanism making switching displays out not an option.
