There's no reason to open the laptop to dust it. Just use canned air and blow both ways into the ventilation holes, should do the job fine.

It's really easy to screw something up disassembling your laptop, it's not as simple as a desktop.

Uh, yeah. Right. What JohnWill said.
I'm bad about putting disclaimers on my posts. I jump into projects like this with both feet, mostly because I like taking things apart and seeing how many screws are left over when I reassemble. I should be more careful.

I probably won't be, though, lol.

All you have to do is read that whole page about disassembling the laptop and you can see it's not like popping the cover off your mini-tower desktop case.
