The plastic quality of most of the chassis is quite good for such an old laptop and the liftable keyboard allows easy access to the floppy drive, hard-drive, battery and RAM. The LCD screen has a fluorescent backlight that is potentially difficult to replace as screens used by IBM on similar laptops can be quite cumbersome to dissassemble (the IBM Thinkpad 755 series). The rubberized coating that flakes over time is one of the most annoying feature of the laptop, as the smell, dirt and stickiness of its gets worse as the laptop aged. It can be cleaned with careful wiping using a smooth sponge and mild concentration iso-propyl alcohol or another alcohol solution.

Internal component access is also quite good, as the hardrive has a caddy that can be opened externally, as well as easy access to the floppy drive, battery and RAM. The LCD screen has a fluorescent backlight that is potentially difficult to replace as screens used by IBM on similar laptops can be quite cumbersome to disassemble (the IBM Thinkpad 755, IBM 370C series).
