The plastic quality of most of the chassis is quite good for such an old laptop | The plastic quality of most of the chassis is quite good for such an old laptop. Unfortunately, the laptop is not as easily serviceable since some parts, such as the RAM module, is proprietary. Also, the older BIOS and its configuration has problems in accomodating modern harddrives, especially as slimmer models were not as popular at that time. On the other side, circuitry durability is very good, so these laptops have good prospects of surviving for a few more years. The LCD screen has a fluorescent backlight that is potentially difficult to replace as screens used, at that time, on similar laptops, can be quite cumbersome to dissassemble (the IBM Thinkpad 755 series, for instance). Also, another issue is that the monochrome LCD that is supplied with most models may not be easily replaced with the colour one. | ||
