I had to have my laptop keyboard replaced. Because I didn’t want to try this at home with my single (good) source of computing, I gave it to a professional. He charged 45 minutes for it. I can totally see how a layperson could take 2 hours.
Acer Nitro 5.
There’s a video on youtube for that laptop and keyboard replacement is ~20 minutes.
I think laypeople overestimate how hard replacing computer parts is. Usually it’s as easy as a LEGO kit but if you don’t have instructions it can be tedious.
Hm… the submodels seem to be significanly different. Still: Which video are you referring to?
To be fair I didn't watch it fully just scrubbed through it but it's this one:

Yes, this video that’s sped up by at least 5 times is only 20 minutes long…
