I marked the screws with red circles in the following photo:. After the screws are removed I pulled the keyboard out of the base. It is connected to the motherboard via a ribbon cable which I did not pull out. After that I pulled the palm rest off the base:. You can see the place for the mSATA drive marked via a red rectangle.

The X continues to be my fave as Lenovo has provided patches against the recent vulnerabilities. I tip my hat to the team at Thinkpad for doing so. The perceived performance hit is well documented and despite this - I'm on the latest build of w10 64 with office Please note the laptop is meant to provide 10 hours of juice and do not skimp on cheap batteries. In the future - running linux on this would extend its useful life for a forther years as we all know that linux are way less reseource heavy while in recent years have certainly evolved to cater moderate-advanced users and not just advanced users.

The other part is the dock - the i7 version of the x has a "native" USB3 port and if you are lucky to have that model - get the dock which would allowthe support of a superspeed usb3 port via the i7. So instead of obtaining the best - aim for mid tier brands with very decent write speeds for your 7" ssd. You do not need the best because you won't be able to harness the full potential between transfers.
