Conversely, I replaced the battery in a T740 last week for a client .

8 screws total, including keyboard, and battery (2, and not glued).

I wouldn't give this one a 10/10, but 7-8/10, probably.

Nice to work with, captive screws all around the shell, so no lost screws, no bullshit "screws under rubber feet" like HP loves to do....

Only gripe is that the usb c is not on a daughterboard. Or power and ports for that matter.
