  1. I think it is super easy to disassemble, and the keyboard is exactly the same version as the P and the former W series, where you need to push up the keyboard before the screws appear.
    The P model is also super easy to open up compared to the standard model – just two screws. The screen is much easier to replace than the normal or the S model.

  2. I’m not sure what laptop some of the commentators on here are reporting to have more than two screws securing the big door, but it isn’t the T440p. Maybe they have the T440s? The t440p is the most hassle-free I’ve ever cracked open.
