Just be mindful of where you ask for it. If you go to the UK and ask for Isopropyl they'll tell you they don't carry any because apparently people bought it to get drunk off it...

Well that will cause you to go blind... so don't drink it. In the US the best place is to go to a Walmart (I know, I know) or such and look in the first aide section - you should find it there as a bottle and fairly cheap - couple bucks for a 16oz. bottle that will last you a while (the 91%, not the 50% which is rubbing for massage) - mine is 1/3 full and have had it over a year - I clean things periodically - not every day, but you don't need a lot and it works very nicely, no scrubbing needed, just light swab action if it's a really bad oil spot.

Also if you cut yourself or need to setup an IV, or vaccinate yourself, etc... you're all set... same stuff the doctor uses... so clean the PC and do some exploratory self-surgery if you care to... just use a mirror, since the G751 screen is matt and doesn't reflect well.

How about other parts of the laptop. The one below the keyboards where your arm rest? They said it is easily absorb sweat and oil and its difficult to clean

Hi, sorry I should have been more precise - you can clean the whole laptop that way.

That I do with everything on my PC table or before I pack it up in the backpack is this:

1. I get out the micro cloth, and put it in water until it's soaked (this cleans it out if any dust or oils, etc. - you should periodically wash it just with water) then I ring all the water out so it's only the least possible damp, and then I put just a tiny bit of isopropyl alcohol on that - then that is ready to go.

2. I unplug the system and remove all the items for total cleaning or for a spot I generally just turn it off.

3. I clean the entire system body, by just gently working it over the surface. There three is oil you may have to add more alcohol, and clean it a few times over - the important thing on the matt (rubber like) sections is NOT to rub it hard, that will work it off over time - the oils will lift off with the gentle cleaning action of just lightly rubbing it with the cloth.

4 I clean the ports with a Q-tip and then I use the micro cloth to wipe the plugs and then plug things back in - you will see that anything plugged in for a while will have a kind of ring of dust around the plug (USB are really obvious here) where the dust has gathered around it where the port metal doesn't cover - it's good to keep the ports clean.

Keyboard is the same - the matt area will take the most oil from your palms and arms - but don't worry, it will come right off with the above method and just gentle work - I spot clean mine once a night or if I am sweating a lot (in Florida it's hot) but so far with three months owned I see no change in the rubber matt finish and it's as clean as when I got it.

I will say this - the initial "rough" feeling does go away, it feels smoother to the touch, but it doesn't look any different - what this is the high points of the matt finish are being knocked down and the over all leveling is what you are feeling - it's not coming off... unless you scrub at it or rub it too hard in which case it will eventually come loose or mar up.

Just remember that gentle is the key, and that the alcohol will evaporate so don't worry if it feels like you have too much moisture (make sure you ring it out which is obvious) it will take the oil off any part of the machine and leave it dry in a min or two like a spotless car wash (which is basically what is in that stuff.

kk, hope that helps - I should make a video of that but I don't at the moment have a VBlog cam.

P.S.

If you are really worried about it you can always use an external KB, but I haven't done so and I haven't had any issued with this - even the system stickers are in mint condition still on the KB cover.

Hope that cleared that up (no pun intended...lol).
