    This laptop was my first one in my life and graduation and after 13 years and multiple cleaning, it's still runs like new ❤.
    I really love the build quality and the overall experience of this machine 😊

      Me too! - I still have mine, but alas, it has some issues that are beyond my expertise. - One day I'll get it looked at though, I still love it!

    Thank you very much. I cleaned my Dell Xps 15 L502x (actually quite the same) and renewed the thermal paste and it's still working :) Not faster, not quieter, but hey. It was worth it to gain experience.

    Thank you. I couldn't figure out how to get the keyboard out and I didn't want to break the case so your video help me figure out how to remove that bezel around the keyboard.

    Go easy on it, you're being rough. After almost a decade, the plastic is quite brittle on these. Out of the 17 screws, all of 10 is what's holding mine together. And you almost wrecked the bezel doing that nasty pull, it's so easy if done right. All you gotta do is pull up at the inside edge next to keyboard, and snap the two locks inside battery well. The bezel will pop right out. 10 seconds tops. The whole unit can be taken apart and put back together in 10 minutes. These are among the last of the good Dells.

    You should read the disassembly guide, getting the keyboard bezel off would be a lot less painful to watch and never handle a display cable in that manner.

      You can fit faster DDR3 modules, but they'll only run at DDR3-1600 speed.
