Abstract
An information handling system provides improved repair, reuse and recycling by assembly components into an aluminum extruded main housing having front and rear openings to accept a tray in the housing interior supporting a keyboard and touchpad exposed at an upper side and a supporting motherboard and thermal module on a bottom side. An aluminum extruded lid housing rotationally couples to the main housing with a three element magnetic device that inserts through the tray to hold the tray in position. The major components of the information handling system assemble without screws or adhesive to aid efficient repair, reuse and recycling of the information handling system and components.
