It's not really so bad once you've pulled a few different kinds apart. You kind of get a feel for the way different brands come apart. Once you get inside it's pretty much the normal things you'd find wrong with a desktop hardware- wise, just alot more compressed. Is a pain in the ass putting some brands back together though.
