== Durability and Repair-ability == | == Durability and Repair-ability == | ||
The plastic quality of certain parts is not so great but the chassis is quite durable. Access to the hard-drive is straightforward, requiring only a single unscrew. LCD screen lamp is mounted horizontally and it is not very difficult to replace, but it requires a partial disassembly of the display. The electronics circuitry is fairly durable and the laptop should have some lifespan remaining if properly maintained. 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. | The plastic quality of certain parts is not so great but the chassis is quite durable.
