COLGeek :
Having torx drivers is no big deal. Nor is the use of locktite (many OEM vendors do this, particularly with laptops).
Name one other OEM vendor who does this?
I've serviced Dell, HP, ASUS, Acer, Toshiba, Samsung, Sony, Apple and Lenovo, and only Apple does this. Apple also is the only company that completely voids your warranty for opening up the machines.
Torx Screw usage -> Apple
Phillips Screw Usage -> All others.
Locktite Glue usage -> Apple
No glue on case screws -> all others.
Lets not try to make Apple seem better than they are, I know that's a common thing for Apple users to think that what they're getting isn't much different (and they are right when it comes to hardware, the build qualities and hardware strength is exactly the same as other OEM vendors) you do pay more though and you don't get the self serviceability that you get with other laptop manufacturers.
