    You can't change the processor and not sure about the keyboard.

    You should be able to change the keyboard but it is a tough job, it will be glued down and is very thin.

    The one with the 1.6 is a later mark. You would have to swap the whole motherboard out from the same model. It would be easier to find a stripped unit and just swap your other parts over.

    If you have never taken one apart, get a junker and try that first. I split laptops all the time but the T series is a brute to disassemble for a beginner. Trust me on that, I have had several T5,7,8's apart along with F8's and F9's.

    Way too easy to break something. :D
