My last laptop was 5 screws and the back just slid off.. now my laptop is like 1cm thinner but has 12 screws and 20 clips.

On a totally unrelated note, I haven't cleaned out my laptop recently and in relying on the fans going to max to clear any hair in them by just slicing it up. Hopefully.

Ooohhh - now I want a laptop with razor blades on its fan. Maybe also get the fan to occasionally run in reverse to blow the crud back out the intake.
