 == Durability and Repair-ability ==
-Good plastic quality means that case cracks are less common than on other models but the model by itself is not immune. Removable and the fixed drive bay are easy to access and the case itself is easy to disassemble due to obvious markings on the laptop's underside as well as masking black tape placed on screws. Many generations (series) of laptops, such as the T60/T61 use the same easy to find screws, trackpads and buttons, keyboards, cooling systems are interchangeable while screens, palmrests, bezels are specific to laptops sizes.
+Despite the pro moniker, the laptop does not have a highly durable case or any other durability enhancement. The construction feels alight but the laptop is clearly not made to withstand abuse and falls more than typical models. The case flexes during typing on the center keys and the display can experience flexes when enough pressure is placed in the center area of the top case. The keyboard itself is not waterproof so any water that may drip into the computer will not be able to exit it without pooling. As with all modern, even slightly upmarket laptops, there is no way to secure the display to the bottom case, although the hinges seem to be able to maintain the laptop closed quite tightly, at least initially.
-The LCD screen's fluorescent backlight is easier to replace since there is plenty of space and a good design on the screen's casing and light dispersion system to accommodate newer and thinner lamps or thicker classic ones. LCD screens can be inter-changed to suit a specific native resolution requirement if the proper original cabling is available. Fans and the fan blades can be easily cleaned and bearings can be easily greased, providing long service life since fan casing stud mountings can be pried open and placed back again.
+Repair-ability is limited mostly by the amount of components that are directly soldered to the motherboard. As the RAM cannot be replaced, despite the typical durability of such components, it still means that any damage to it is much harder to mitigate. The bottom case has a cover that can be reasonably easy to unscrew, offering access to all internals for cleaning or replacement of the WiFi and SSD drive. Due to the way in which the laptop operate, you have to contend with quite frequent dust cleanings as the fans are on, sometimes, even during idle processing periods.
