The most difficult part about fixing a laptop is figuring out the order in which to unscrew and remove all the parts. Every laptop comes with a service manual, and most of them are floating about online somewhere. Macbooks on the other hand.. not too sure about them. I bet they all have locking screws or something, with anti-tamper alarms that phone home and wipe your HD.

Take apart guides for most Mac laptops exist online, I have the one for my MacBook Pro as I recently replaced the HD with an SSD. The screws are a mix of Philips head and Torx.

Torx are used in lots of places. They are harder to round off than other screws.

Even an old HTC phone I have used them, I used to have to take that apart periodically and clean the dust out from the screen.
