Removing the entire top lid was easier than I initially thought it would be. The beautiful thing about these older, classic ThinkPads is the ability to completely dissemble them. I won't go into heavy details on how to take one of these machines apart, since great documentation [already exists](https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Lenovo_Thinkpad_X201_Tablet). But once you have the keyboard and hinge screws removed it is essentially as easy as *lifting* the lid out of the chassis. (After disconnecting the small display connectors, of course)

I love Alpine Linux. It's normally my [go-to distro](https://as.bt.ht) (paired with dwm) for most of my laptop devices. Unfortunately, I find tiling window managers a slight pain to use on larger, 4K displays. I also wanted this slabtop to "just work", instead of needing to fiddle around with WiFi, `xrandr`, audio etc. Not to mention that Debian is rock solid stable. Defaulting to the XFCE DE was a no-brainer as well since this device is somewhat *old*.
