| [* green] Outer covers can be replaced without tools. | |
| [* green] Many components are modular and disassembly is straightforward. | |
| [* green] Vacuum-able dust ports makes de-dusting maintenance easier. | |
| - | [* yellow] Main storage is integrated to the motherboard, but expansion should be easy (once enabled by Sony) with off-the-shelf M.2 SSDs. |
| [* yellow] The optical drive is a cinch to replace, but cannot be easily swapped thanks to software locks. | |
| [* yellow] Sealed-in liquid metal TIM could be challenging to replace during service. | |
| [* red] Use of security screws throughout creates an unnecessary hindrance to repairs. | |
| + | [* red] Main storage is integrated to the motherboard, but expansion should be easy (once enabled by Sony) with off-the-shelf M.2 SSDs. |
