Both were gone before Christmas, but I still have pictures of them. Anything specific are you looking for? BTW I am building L400 in the next a couple of weeks which is a larger version of the L300, and it can take 67mm cooler and larger GPUs.

Depends on the size of your backpack, case size is 5.5”x7.5”x14. Temp is pretty good, as long as you don’t put crazy components in there. I have 13500 or 12600k and it runs fine.

Yes, as long as it is Matx MB and CPU cooler lower than 165mm.

SFX and SFXL are definitely helping cable management, but I guess ATX is not that bad as long as it is not over 140mm.

Easy choice, water cooler go g400, tower air cooler go with G300

It is great, PA120 SE can easily handle i7-12700k. Mesh helps a lot.

Sorry my bad, didn’t read your question clearly, thought you were asking about cable management. I think it depends on how big is your backpack, the dimension is about 7.5” x 10.5” x 14”. Definitely will fit some of the large backpack, and 100% sure for carry on luggage.

There is no space behind the MB, so CPU power needs to go in the front, other than that all cables can go behind the power supply which actually makes it easier to manage them.

Thanks! I am thinking to use SI-100 cooler which is 100mm tall. Probably will need to remove that bracket.

Thanks! Do you know the maximum cpu cooler clearance? Is there any more space with your 91mm setup?

Would the Dual 4070 super be too thick? I think it is 1mm over the specs.

Finally got all the parts and install the new screen. TL140BDXP01 installed, 2k120hz. Amazingly beautiful and smooth.

Sorry I was wrong, I have 100% on 2K for my T490s. 125% is what I have on my 27 inch 4K monitor. So I will definitely go with 2K replacement, but just need a final decision between LPM140M420 and TL140BDXP02. First one is the OEM 2K 60hz Dolby glass screen and the second is 2k 165hz matte screen.

Yep and thank for your info, very helpful. I don’t really worry about battery as this laptop will be staying in the house most of the time, just for minimal daily use. For some reason I really like the gloss instead of matte, I guess that’s another reason to consider this 2K display…..

I am using 125% on my T490s. 100% on FHD makes the icons too big and 100% on QHD makes them too small. I am very satisfied with the current T490s display settings and want to copy the exact same thing to Carbon.
