    I have decided to purchase the Clevo W150HR in Europe.
    However, I have been informed that the keyboard of my choice is not available for some time. Therefore I am sourcing a keyboard from elsewhere.

    Can anyone tell me how easy it is to swap out the keyboard? (any pics/simple instructions would be a bonus) It looks like screws from under the laptop, as opposed to latches from the top.

    TIA

    To me it looks like the Sager NP8150 has a similar keyboard assembly.

    The plastice strip above the keyboard is removed to reveal screws for the keyboard.

    Does anyone know if the strip of plastic for the Sager NP5165 / Clevo W150HR is as easy to remove (read: easily accessible "hole")? Or perhaps this is not the way at all?
