'Easier to open' .. should this really need to be an improvement?

  If it's identical to consumer hardware, then there's no reason to design it to be easy to open. But a developer laptop will be opened. (I might be attacking a strawman, but I detect in your question a suggestion that more consumer hardware should be user-serviceable. There's a difference between being hostile toward serviceability and simply optimizing the design for manufacturability, aesthetics, cost, and reliability, any of which can conflict with other metrics such as serviceability.)

    Believe it is about opening the lid, not the case.

      Oh, duh. Yes, I totally misinterpreted that. Thanks.
