  • Simple answer, no

    Long answer: most consumer grade laptops are specifically designed the way they are and you cant get custom metal replacement parts without contracting a metal 3d printing company. Honestly you are correct, most repair companies will charge large labor costs to persuade you not to get it done with them as it’s a time taxing repair pulling everything out and putting into a new case.

    If this is a common issue for your laptop then suggest getting another model.

  • Tokio specifically says not to use it for CPU intensive tasks and rayon would be better for this: https://tokio.rs/tokio/tutorial

    Speeding up CPU-bound computations by running them in parallel on several threads. Tokio is designed for IO-bound applications where each individual task spends most of its time waiting for IO. If the only thing your application does is run computations in parallel, you should be using rayon. That said, it is still possible to “mix & match” if you need to do both. See this blog post for a practical example
