Hi all, I found this old ThinkPad and I would like to pass it on to someone that could really use it, but it's a bit disgusting. What is the best and easiest way to clean this? What tool would/ do you use?

seconding makeup brushes!! Fluffy ones are great for delicate things and lightweight dust but a good thin edge brush will work wonders on stuck bits (source: my sewing machine seems to inhale dog hair every chance it gets)
