The DXG is very easily opened.
The Keyboard B008 model seemed easy to open for me.
Newer products generally are harder and use more glue. Exception is Kobo Original H2O (uses single piece double sided tape on front bezel, really tricky, esp to reassemble) vs the much newer Kobo Libra (back pops off really easily).
Apple stuff is mostly dreadful. Many lesser name brands and no name brand tablets can pop apart with a guitar plectrum.
Older laptops pretty easy. Newer ones ghastly. One model had the keyboard panel affixed to front panel by melting all the plastic studs that passed through it. It took some care and ingenuity to fit the new keyboard. Clip in LiIon packs have been replaced by glued in pouch types to save money and a little weight. My previous laptop was in used solidly from April 2002 to November 2018. Obviously it had the battery pack replaced quite a few times. Keyboard replaced once. Screen hinges repaired once. Finally the case began to disintegrate. I got a lesser spec different model with faulty screen, no battery and no HDD for £10 on eBay because it was actually the same case/body. It was always easy to work on. The scrap model donating case happened to also have a x2 better graphics card with x4 RAM and amazingly three DELL model ranges took same case and could interchange the graphics.
The worst value is the All-in-one Desktops. Garbage quality using customised laptop motherboards. Easier to get replacement laptop screens & parts. Cost more yet no UPS (the battery in a laptop is a free UPS worth over $150!). Cheaper to buy a screen, keyboard and laptop than a poorer spec all-in-one. Docks are also a waste of money. Save little time and a source of incompatibility and crashes.
I'm glad I don't work in IT any longer!
