i have removed it. initially thinking want to replace but fark it just use it naked.
previous matte SP really cause the screen quality drop due to blurriness.

normal SP and tempered glass once scratch also will affect the view.
put trust into its gorilla glass build.
I am using tempered glass. So far so good as I hardly use the pen.

Btw, I notice the keyboard will press against the screen when closed and leaving keyboard mark on it.

How about you?

Mine the same, but less effect with matte SP.

Cannot avoid since there is no gap between the screen and keyboard when closed.

Moving forward im using it naked free. Anyway already reaching 3 years of using, condition still ok. Coding and photoshop not much issue

Last year around October sent to Service Center to check because the battery is bloated and pushed the bottom part of the screen away from the casing.

The tech help me to remove the battery and glue back the screen for free. The tech also advise me to get the battery outside because Lenovo price is expensive. Estimated around RM350 to 400 and also need to wait as they don't have stock.

At the same time checked the fan and discovered the fan is dirty. After cleaning then no more noisy sound.

So finally I bought the replacement battery from AliExpress for USB48.75 in November 2019 and it is still working.

Btw, I changed the motherboard this year due to it intermittent unable to detect the SSD. Luckily it is still under warranty.

I also did the SSD upgrade to Samsung 970 EVO Plus 512GB in Jan this year.

The battery in my Miix-520 reported 75.1% wear 3 days again. Yesterday reported 79.5% wear. The battery bought from AliExpress.

It was used for 9 months only however I hardly use the notebook.

Today bought a new one for RM230 from Imbi Plaza. The shop has a Shopee store which selling @ RM240. I also checked @ Low Yat. There is a shop selling @ RM320 excludes installation. They charge RM150 for installation.

Anyway, I just installed the battery myself as I had replaced the battery before.
