I don't know...

I had only heard praises like yours on that subject, but I have a T410 and I am really not happy about the access:

* plenty of screws,

* same-looking screws with different length (I won't disassemble it one more time now, but I think that's the case),

* bloody clips that WILL break sooner or later,

* disassembly is neither super intuitive nor obvious,

* I simply could not figure out how to reach some places (like the jack I wanted to fix or change).

It is not better in that respect than the random Compaq I used before, rather worse in fact. The only positive is that the plastic ages better than the old Presario's, which got hard and brittle, so small bits regularly broke when I disassembled/reassembled it.

I had great expectations that the T410 would be better because of the praises I had read, but in fact it was a little bit worse, so I was quite disappointed.

My T43 had a legend on the bottom that told you which length screw to use in which hole, it was pretty fantastic.
