Sager 1950 Rubberized Chassi Dust?

Hello guys,
I hear the Sager 9150 and other models have a "rubberized" coating on the chassis. Apparently it's easier to grip, but the big issue is that it attracts dust really easily and it sticks to the coating. Wiping it off is also quite a chore since the chassis is not smooth, paper towels and microfiber rags "stick" to the coating as you try to wipe it. Anyone have experience and if it's a big deal or not? Cheers!

 

I love the rubberized coating on the laptop, colour looks great and the matte effect is beautiful! Although it does attract dust and the colour of the laptop doesn't exactly help hide it . I myself have no complaints about the dust, as i often clean my laptop.

I use a very soft bristled brush and a can of compressed air for the dust and isopropyl alcohol/microfiber towel for the rest. Haven't found the microfiber towels to stick too, definitely not a big deal! Although i have noticed less and less dust each time i clean (owned the unit for just over a week).

 

Isn't it a little much to have to clean your laptop weekly with rubbing alcohol, microfibres and compressed air? I don't mean to sound pampered but that's a lot of work!

 

I do like the the rubberized chassis, it just adds more of a quality build feel. Its not too tough to maintain but it is a little more work then just a plastic chassis.

 

I never had issues with dust, it might affect those in particularly bad environments, but otherwise I would not worry.

 

Thats what I dont like about rubberized finish.
BUT - its better than glossy finish anyways.
And in my books - its also better than aluminum. It isolates heat better & is more scratch resistant.

You are just gonna have to deal with it.
I dont have to clean it (ever) because I dont use my laptop keyboard. And I put a neoprene cloth on it.

 

I'm a clean freak this isn't the only item I clean this way so kinda use to it lol

 

We always recommend customers to clean their units every 3 months. Spcially use a heavy duty air compressor to clean inside the laptop. You will be surprised how much duty you can find inside the laptop.

 

Really? Also please what kind of heavy duty air can we buy?

 

Just get a regular can of compressed air. Most PC stores sell those.
Use it on parts that are unmounted. Dont blow the air inside the laptop, only trough the vents in direction outside.
You can take the fans apart (probably remove 3 screws and the power cable of the fan) and clean them.
Careful not to attract static! It can kill some components.
Dont use rubber gloves while cleaning.
Avoid fluffy clothing.
Dont use a vacuum cleaner (like I do). Its dangerous. I havent bricked anything yet, but still its dangerous.

 

Also don't put the nozzle too close to what you are blowing as it may leave a residue.

When working inside a machine use an anti-static wrist band. Laptops don't tend to be grounded like desktop cases so static is more of a risk.

 

and only spray the can right side up, otherwise the refrigerant will leak out.
