Can the laptop be easily removed and reinstalled. I'm in Home Health care and often need to take the laptop in the patient's home with me

yes, it can. However, about a few such cycles, it takes extra effort to make it stable. Being stable while driving is always the first problem to tackle.

Wpuld not suggest this. It is a piece of crap. I have already thrown it away. So has my coworker.

It sure is. The G500 is one of the more accessible models of laptop I've come across. Removing and replacing the keyboard involves undoing a few screws on the underside (they're even marked with a keyboard symbol) and popping the keyboard out (it snaps in place). There is one ribbon cable that attaches underneath. To put a new keyboard in, just reverse these steps. Quick and painless.

There is a good warranty company that I purchased that covers everthing wrong with the laptop except it getting stolen. Square safe. I'd purchase it just to be safe.

In theory, no, but it is easy to unscrew the back if you are good at that stuff and then it's pretty much, just pop a new one in. In any event, a computer tech shouldn't have much trouble replacing it.

Well, you will prob have to take it to your local computer repair place and have them do it. You can only open the small back compartment. Hope my answer is good!

No you cannot remove the battery, you would have to disassemble the laptop to do so. Also this laptop only has 1 HDMI output and 2 USB ports so it would probably not be a good choice for this use.

Nothing, your laptop would just see a new device. It won't lock automatically. You have to install and setup the software before any functionality is present.

SSD as sold. Battery can be replaced. It does not have an external cover to remove. You would have to open the PC to get at it. Check with ACER.

the battery is removable... kind of. the battery is a distinct field-replaceable unit, but you need to remove the keyboard/touchpad/palmrest to get at it. this involves removing nine or ten screws and carefully separating the top and bottom halves of the unit. The unit has a feel of a netbook to it.

you can remove the dvd drive and put a hdd caddy. I did it without problem.

Yes... And, this is easily accessible, all you have to do is unscrew one screw at the bottom of your laptop and, vola, every component that you can change is there, including the 2 full size hard disk bays.

Hmmm... Not so fast :)The original drive has all of the lookup tables and the WHS operating system on it.Replacing that would require a complete reinstall of the product. You cannot un-mount the OS drive for replacement.

Yes, but its built into the computer, so you can't take it out without taking it apart.

Hello, unfortunately I don't have the laptop in my posession any more. Best regards,Alex.

Hi Todd, a fixed battery is replaceable. If you feel comfortable enough doing it yourself you may; however, I suggest contacting the manufacturing company first. Sometimes fixed hardware can be difficult to replace yourself especially if the case is closed. In regards to the hard-drive question, both hard-drives are replaceable.

You can o it yourself, no special skills, I am a female senior citizen, did not have a problem. Check your manual, on my laptop there is a slide release on the bottom which releases the battery, take it out and replace with new one. Will need to charge for extended period of time. good luck
