I think it depends on what your comparing it to. Obviously, taking a desktop apart is probably going to be easier than a laptop, but I find that in situations like this, practice really does make perfect. 3 years ago, i was limited to upgrading memory on laptops, but now I can do complete tairdowns and motherboard replacements.
What I'm trying to say is if you find laptops hard, just keep at it and you'll get better lol.
