    Hy , i bought a 5920g a while ago and well .. the plastic is getting kinda used , keys are dirty cause the enviroment is constantly full of dust (not much to do against that .. ) , so i'm wandering if i could remove the keys from the keyboard and for those with the same problem .. how are you keeping your laptop clean and new-ish??

    rinse the keyboard with water or vegetable oil (small amount)
    the keys on the keyboard can be taken out by force
    wet tissue paper should be used to clean the monitor area (especially the edges where the dusts are usually trapped)

    dont mind if the liquids goes into the computer, acers laptops are usually pretty water resistant

    I use glass cleaner to clean my key board & plastic area.It works well
    BTW oily things can damage your keys(Oils can remove printed key names)
