IBM's first series of PS2's (models 50, 70 etc) could be fully disassembled
using only fingers and a little plastic tool supplied inside the case. Never
hear of a portable that easy though.

I just finished swapping motherboards on some Mac
Portables and am amazed that you can do this without
having to turn a single screw. In fact, you can take
the whole thing apart using a flat head screw driver --
but only to pry up some edges. Can't think of any PC
ever that is or was that easy to work on, and certainly
can't think of a portable that comes anywhere close.
