https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003366309487.html This is where MELOCODI got the T1000 from. I was considering it too but I'm allocating my money for something else.

It'll depend on the one you purchased as some 2013 models have LVDS (LA-9771P), later in 2014 and 2015 they used eDP (LA-9772P). You can check this by looking at your Service Tag, and checking if the LCD says EDP, or under the laptop when you remove the ODD. There's AliExpress where some bought MXM Type-As like the T1000. But time to time eBay can turn up second hand GPUs. My WX4150 came from eBay, albeit HP branded. I flashed a Dell VBIOS and it works fine, to an extent. CSM disabled and Legacy hardware ROMs is on, otherwise I cannot see the BIOS internally but external only. I plan to swap for an Intel Arc GPU. My M4800 uses an 8bpcc 120hz display. The thing to note here is that opting for a 4K panel disables the iGPU. Ahh the luxury of rubber coating. ThinkPads exhibit this too, in fact anything rubberised. I haven't determined a reasonable workaround, but you could source a new palmrest.

A little update: The listing got fixed, supposedly a problem with their account but I ordered the pair. It'll take time to get here but I'll report findings if there are any differences in acoustics between Sunon's and Delta's fans.

Alright, so, this is confusing because the connectors for these fans kinda differ by colour. The white ones seem to be Delta and the black connectors are Sunon, but these fans I have found on another listing don't appear to have Delta branding yet exhibit the white connectors. Are they also Deltas or another brand that I'm not aware of? Actually looking at listings the NS85C12-17G23 NS85C13-17G24 match for the unbranded assumed Delta and branded Delta, its just one set doesn't have Delta branding on it while it too also has the white connectors. I could be wrong, but if it's definitely the case that there are 2 sets of Delta fans and 1 Sunon then that listing could be an option. I'll think it over once more then consider purchasing and trying it out when it gets here.

You did one hell of a good job getting it back together working. 🙂 You can bung in an mSATA for a third storage medium if you desired. Although mSATA has become a little harder to get but I have a Kingston 240GB in mine.

So, Deltas from that seller is out of the question now. Seems they don't ship to the UK after all. I still have a gut feeling that Sunons on 7530-7540 differ but it's still impossible to get confirmation from others.

Looking like I'm running out of more options to replace the fans of the screaming frog 7540. Many listings list Sunon, either new or used, potentially plagued with the screaming fan syndrome. I may have to try and get closure from the seller of the Delta fans, otherwise if that is no-go then I'm itching on reselling the 7540. Not only that, the lack of feedback of others with this laptop being asked about noise is little to nothing. I'm not ready for a roulette of Sunon fans because likely they're all the same.

Me right now. But I honestly have plans of getting fitter this summer.

Maybe one of those systems where you can choose hybrid, dedicated only or integrated only for output.

It could take battery life quite a hit with a dGPU. The only benefit here is having a little more power in some editing tasks with CUDA. I don't know if it's a significant or negligible difference.

It's reminded me that there is a 2-in-1 Dell convertible with a dedicated board for the graphics. It's the Dell Inspiron 7778 17in 2-in-1. Shame it's not the case for the 16. Kinda wishing people stopped addressing soldered discrete graphics as cards.

Lemme one-up that.

I'd imagine you'd do by replacing the board. I don't think Intel would have any intention going back to socket.

Surely the MiniLED is glossy? I questioned getting a miniLED for my 7540 but skipped on it after learning mounting the thing was a nightmare.

Have you tried HWInfo64 to get the panel number? What I did to find out what ICC I needed for my laptops, I used HWInfo64 to get the panel model and searched for it on Notebookcheck as they usually sometimes provide the calibrated ICC profile.

I don't know if it counts as a purchase as I traded in my old and tried with less confidence cameras in favour of a better one with the credit. Recently got the Panasonic GH5 II. So I'm down to one camera now. Don't think I'll miss the Olympus because the new camera can do a little more than both of them. Bright EVF, charges through USB, and detects animals along with humans. 😄

Part of me says if I'd be traveling alot with a eGPU dock like this, I wouldn't be using mechanical drives in it at all. I'd be worried about it slipping:
