    Warm water and a microfiber cloth should do the trick. Try not to touch the palmrest unless you really have to.

    I normally wet a small spot on the cloth and do as Kuro... , then rub gently, so as not to get any liquid near the touch pad. Mine does get sort of greasy but windex does a good job for me.

    Cleaning this model is hard, ust to clean the entire vents I need to take the entire machine apart. Maybe its why I dont game that much anymore, I just dont want to clean it. But no problems since I take it apart in 30min. I cant wait for the day when I sell this thing.

    stupid excuse
    every model gets filthy with dust and needs to be cleaned and it doesn't take too much time if you know what you are doing and you don't have to open it all the way
